Age Sixteen Two Seconds Lyrics Age Sixteen lyrics

[kris]
you tossed me a smile in passing
it was more than i could ask
a simple gesture brought tears to glaciers

how is it still possible
for so much disconnect
in this world of wires?
faced backed with light
"connect" me to you.

where do dreams of children go?
they die, like most do
fallen out and replace with mew
rested under pillows for the night thieves

your skin's like broken glass
let's stand firm and tall like trees
intertwine our roots to one
grow our skin as tough as nails

in lieu of everything i gave

you asked for water from stones
i beat the rocks to dust, but nothing flowed

everything is in the right place
but you don't like the fit
you've broken bones to fit new dresses
you've thrown away old rags

in and out you are a thing of beauty
tell me left or right
if she would have stayed
what kind of man would i be?

[justin]
can we hope for better days
where we are hand in hand
on top of mountains and in
this flight state we are confident
but look what happens when we land
