Back to 2016

Met you in a crowded hallway

Plastic wristbands

X on my hand

You were laughing over the speakers

Glow paint running down where you stand

We were too young to care how we’d feel tomorrow

Phone at 3 percent

Still you pulled me close

Every color in the air turned slow

You said

"Promise me this stays in your soul"

Take me back to 2016

Hands up high

Hearts on our sleeves

We were strangers

We were everything

Loud and lost and seventeen

We could live inside that dream

Play it back on endless repeat

All that we had

All that we’d be

Take me back to 2016 (oh-woah)

All my friends are scattered in cities

All our inside jokes in the cloud

But I still taste that cheap confetti

Every time this drops in the crowd

We were too young to think it would ever end

You wrote your number sharp on my wrist

Every second hanging by a thread

Every second felt like this

Take me back to 2016

Hands up high

Hearts on our sleeves

We were strangers

We were everything

Loud and lost and seventeen

We could live inside that dream

Play it back on endless repeat

All that we had

All that we’d be

Take me back to 2016 (yeah, yeah)

If I close my eyes

I’m right there

You’re still shouting over the air

"Don’t grow up

Just stay right here"

(let it stay, let it stay, let it stay)

Take me back to 2016

Hands up high

Hearts on our sleeves

We were strangers

We were everything

Loud and lost and seventeen

We could live inside that dream

Play it back on endless repeat

All that we had

All that we’d be

Take me back to 2016 (oh-woah)

Take me back to 2016
