Sweet 16 - Matt Maltese

You, an angel in my class

Me, a kind-natured ass

I watched you smile

I watched you true

Couple seasons later

Shows over baby blue

Now, twenty-something on the bus

Things change

I’m way more of a shmuck

Once in a while

I see you online

Who said the internet was good for getting on with your life?

Looking back

Think I’m projecting here but

Sweet 16, you’re really the sweetest

Looking back

You can look all you want but

Sweet 16 won’t fix all your problems

Me, I wrote you quite the email

You, sent out an office reply (I was out of town)

Well, nevermind

Let’s let «by gones» be «by hid gones»

I can always passively-aggressively put you in a song

Looking back

Think I’m projecting here but

Sweet 16, you’re really the sweetest

Looking back

You can look all you want but

Sweet 16 won’t fix all your problems

Oh, looking back

Think I’m projecting here but

Sweet 16, you’re really the sweetest

Looking back

Make your excuses but

Sweet 16 won’t fix all your problems

Well, look at us now

I don’t know you

You don’t know me

I live my life

You live yours

Guess that’s what the kids call closure

Do you think of me too?

Or have we passed the cut-off point?

When it’s frowned upon

To think sometimes about your

Sweet 16
