[Verse 1]
We were just kids
Laughing in the back row
Sharing headphones
You stole my fries
I stole your hoodie
Never gave it back home
Sixteen winters
Sixteen summers
Side by side
I knew your secrets
Long before you ever learned my last name right
[Chorus]
Fifteen years of calling you my baby
Sixteen years of calling you my friend
We’ve been growing up and getting crazy
Still you’re the hand I’m reaching for again
If I could go back
I’d do it all once more
Every fight
Every kiss at the door
Fifteen years in love
My lady
Sixteen years
My heart
My friend
[Verse 2]
First tiny apartment
Burnt toast
Late rent
Laughing on the floor
We planned big futures
On a Tuesday night
Eating cheap takeout for four
You held me steady
When my voice shook on that call
I held you quiet
When the doctor said they’d have to watch it all
[Chorus]
Fifteen years of calling you my baby
Sixteen years of calling you my friend
We’ve been growing up and getting crazy
Still you’re the hand I’m reaching for again
If I could go back
I’d do it all once more
Every doubt
Every slammed bedroom door
Fifteen years in love
My lady
Sixteen years
My heart
My friend
[Bridge]
We turned inside jokes
Into a family name (oh)
Every broken plan
Turned to a story we claim
When the world feels heavy
And my courage ends
You’re my safest shoulder
My forever
My best friend
[Chorus]
Fifteen years of calling you my baby
Sixteen years of calling you my friend
We’ve been messing up and making it
Maybe
But we always find our way back again
If I get a lifetime
I’ll spend it all with you
Every year
Finding something new
Fifteen years in love
My lady
Sixteen years
Still you
My friend (yeah)
Sixteen years
Still you
My friend
