Sixteen candles in the summer air
Your hand in mine we didn't have a care
The radio played our favorite song
And that's where this story starts to glow
We were just kids with big dreams
Chasing lights through the seams
Now I look back and I see
Every moment was lighting up me
It was a glowing time
When the world felt right
Every laugh every light
Made the darkness ignite
We were golden we were fire
Dancing under the pyre
Oh those glowing times
Midnight calls on the telephone
You said "Let's go don't wanna stay home"
We drove with the windows down
Nobody else around
We were fearless we were wild
Living for that rush we couldn't hide
Now I miss how we used to be
Back when everything felt so free
It was a glowing time
When the world felt right
Every laugh every light
Made the darkness ignite
We were golden we were fire
Dancing under the pyre
Oh those glowing times
They say all good things must end
But memories they don't bend
I'll carry this light you gave
Every night every day
It was a glowing time
When the stars aligned
Your smile your eyes so bright
Turned my whole world to light
We were forever you and I
Written in the glowing sky
Oh those glowing times
Glowing time (we were so alive)
Glowing time (you and I)
Yeah those glowing times
