Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You were all worn sneakers I was eyeliner Shy laughs Passing notes in math class Hearts drawn in the margins You walked me past the buses Hands cold Still you reached Sixteen and so uncertain Except the way you looked at me [Chorus] We've been us since sixteen Growing up in the same old dream From lockers to rent and late-night screens You and me You and me Every version that I've been You were there when the sky looked thin If I had to live it all again I'd start at sixteen And find you again [Verse 2] First fight in your driveway Your keys slammed on the hood Swore this was the ending But we both knew it was good Prom photos in your bedroom Still taped and fading slow We went from "what if" someday To "hey We're finally home" [Chorus] We've been us since sixteen Growing up in the same old dream From lockers to rent and late-night screens You and me You and me Every version that I've been You were there when the sky looked thin If I had to live it all again I'd start at sixteen And find you again [Bridge] All the little almost-breaks All the moves and job changes All the nights we stayed awake Picking names Counting changes (oh) Look at us at the kitchen sink Laughing at our younger selves Still that kid when you kiss me Still that girl who always fell [Chorus] We've been us since sixteen Growing up in the same old dream From lockers to rent and late-night screens You and me You and me Every version that I've been You were there when the sky looked thin If I had to live it all again I'd start at sixteen And choose you again

pop, Shimmering mid-tempo pop with warm synth pads, clean electric guitars, and steady drums. Intimate female vocals start soft and close, then rise into a wide, anthemic chorus with stacked harmonies. Subtle piano doubles the hook; last chorus adds tambourine and a lifted key feel for a nostalgic, triumphant finish.
