GREEN DAY

- Sweet 16 Lyrics

Bring me back to an hour ago
Time stands still as the years go by
Brown-eyed girl that's throwing down a bottle of old english
Back in the warehouse

Old days are fine
But left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids alright, alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well you will always be my
You will always be my sweet sixteen

Sleep on the floor on cardboard
Stab at my heart like a dartboard.
Brown-skinned girl that I dream about a long long time now
From the Midwest to the beach

Old days are fine
But left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids alright, alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well you will always be my
You will always be my sweet sixteen

Old days are fine
But left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids alright, alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well you will always be my
You will always be my sweet sixteen

What is the meaning behind Sweet 16 lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, Green Day's 'Sweet 16' is a song that takes the listener back in time, reminiscing about the first love, innocence, and the music of the past, making use of the humorous imagery of naming a 'brown-eyed girl' and 'sweet 16' as the memories and love that are the best and dreams that are the sweetest. Sweet 16 lyrics are all about love, nostalgia, reflection, joy, and peace. The song at the same time talks about the good and bad times of nostalgia, youth love, simplicity and the resilience of youth strife. The lyrics make mention of alcohol ('throwing down a bottle of Olde English') and there are also some metaphors that could be interpreted as quite strong ('stab out my heart like a dartboard'). These factors point to a PG-13 rating, which means that there might be some content unsuitable for kids below 13 years old.
