I wish I was sixteen
with an ivory ribbon in my hair

I didn't think I'd get this far

I didn't think that someday, again,
I'd care

...

Now I'm in the future

The crystal ball did not see

I thought I'd be
at the bottom of a lake

somewhere

for the fish to feed

...

Now I think I'm stuck here
in a future unforseen

I wish I could have been a smarter girl

I wish I was sixteen
