I hear the rumors I hear the whispers in the streets They try to raise my voice But it's difficult to speak You were an anchor You were a rock You were the safe space I could talk Because of you I don't have to run I don't have to be someone I'm not A leap of faith Can you feel it when we kiss Don't need to hide What this is When I'm wearing my old jeans I am back to sweet 16 You are still a part of me Because of them This is now Bridges behind us There are no voices in our way I wish I'd known back then That pride could grow from shame We were the outcast running away Look at us outlast all their names Now we are here We are strong We have a love they'll never take A leap of faith Can you feel it when we kiss? Don't need to hide What this is When I'm wearing my old jeans I am back to sweet 16 You are still a part of me Because of them This is now And this is now A part of us dies The ashes will rise The spirit will grow My soul is alive My heart is a fire I've taken control A leap of faith Can you feel it when we kiss Don't need to hide What this is When I'm wearing my old jeans I am back to sweet 16 You are still a part of me Because of them This is now, ooh This is now, hmm This is now
