  • I used to think about it when I was a little one all alone
    Used to be so excited, so excited on my own
    I used to think about it when I was a little one all alone
    Used to be so excited, so excited in my home

    You wouldn't believe it even if I told ya
    This little girl with too much exposure
    Big bad world, eyes black like a raven
    I knew right then my soul needed saving

    You were way out of my league back then
    Go anyway, be a man

    I am sixteen and I love you and I'm standing on your step
    I took a photograph in my mind
    But I don't know where it's kept
    I'm embarrassing and limited with thoughts I have repressed
    But I'm sixteen and I love you and I haven't lost it yet

    I used to think about it when I was a little one all alone
    Used to be so excited, so excited in my home
    I used to think about it when I was a little one all alone
    Used to be all about it, all about it on my own

    You wouldn't believe it even if I told ya
    This little girl with too much exposure
    Big bad world, eyes black like a raven
    I knew right then my soul needed saving

    This is the end
    You were way out of my league back then
    Go anyway, be a man

    I am sixteen and I love you and I'm standing on your step
    I took a photograph in my mind
    But I don't know where it's kept
    I'm embarrassing and limited with thoughts I have repressed
    But I'm sixteen and I love you and I haven't lost it yet

    Let me be your gospel
    Baby, we've got history
    Let me be your gospel
    Baby, we've got history

    This is the end, my faithful friend
    (Let me be your gospel / Baby, we've got history)
    The bitter end, coming home again
    (Let me be your gospel / Baby, we've got history)
    This is the end

    Drink to you, you always wished me well
    And those that don't go fuck yourself
    Drink to you, you always wished me well
    And those that don't go fuck yourself

    This is the end Writer/s: FLYNN FRANCIS, JACKNIFE LEE, ROBERT PETER WILLIAMS, TIMOTHY GRANT METCALFE
