Green Day - 16 lyrics

Every night I dream the same dream<br />

Of getting older and older all the time<br />

I ask you now, what does this mean?<br />

Are all these problems just in my mind?<br />

<br />

Things are easy when you're a child<br />

But now these pressures have dropped on my head<br />

The length I've gone are just long miles<br />

Would they be shorter if I were dead?<br />

<br />

Every time I look in my past<br />

I always wish I was there<br />

I wish my youth would forever last<br />

Why are these times so unfair?<br />

<br />

Look at my friends and see what they've done<br />

Ask myself, why they had to change?<br />

I liked them better when they were young<br />

Now all these times are rearranged<br />

<br />

I look down and stand there and cry<br />

Nothing ever will be the same<br />

The sun is rising, now I ask why?<br />

The clouds now fall and here comes the rain<br />

<br />

Every time I look in my past<br />

I always wish I was there<br />

I wish my youth would forever last<br />

Why are these times so unfair? Yes<br />

<br />

Every night I dream the same dream<br />

Of getting older and older all the time<br />

I ask you now, what does this mean?<br />

Are all these problems just in my mind?<br />

<br />

Things are easy when you're a child<br />

But now these pressures have dropped on my head<br />

The length I've gone are just long miles<br />

Would they be shorter if I were dead?<br />

<br />

Every time I look in my past<br />

I always wish I was there<br />

I wish my youth would forever last<br />

Why are these times so unfair?<br /><br />
