James Hersch - Falling in Love at Sixteen Lyrics

We didn't know the first thing
We didn't know at all
Falling in love at sixteen is a short and tender fall
Falling in love at sixteen is a short and tender fall

Black water tower
Play ground slide
I'm over the tracks to
The other side
Two in the morning
By the old bank clock
I'm pedaling faster
With every block

She's waiting for me
At her back door
It's down to the basement
And down on the floor
With two open eyes
And one hungry kiss
We're both in a hurry
We've been waiting for this

We didn't know the first thing
We didn't know at all
Falling in love at sixteen is a short and tender fall
Falling in love at sixteen is a short and tender fall

Note in my locker
A hallway glance
I'm writing your name
On the knee of my pants
Thinking of ways
I can see you in school
I guess that I must have been
A perfect fool

We didn't know the first thing
We didn't know at all
Falling in love at sixteen is a short and tender fall
Falling in love at sixteen is a short and tender fall

I was running for you like I was racing the stars
Head over heels, we were two brave hearts
How could we know just how soon there would be
A new love for you, a new love for me

We didn't know the first thing
We didn't know at all
Falling in love at sixteen is a short and tender fall
Falling in love at sixteen is a short and tender fall
