Bombay Bicycle Club - Sixteen Lyrics

And so far we had someone
That doesn't work for everyone.
But I'm thinking this could be a one,
If we put our minds to it.

And I came round today,
So I had so much to say;
And I know you hate seeing me this way,
But I'm having fun.

You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life.
You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life. [x2]

Trying to prove you're alright;
And losing track of the time.
Even when the Summer's passing by.

And bringing it down to focus;
And try to bring it down but I'm hopeless;
Andwe should write this down, so we can remember it.

And yes there was a time
When we were two of a kind,
but now I can't even remember why.

You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life.
You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life.

Trying to prove you're alright;
And losing track of the time.
Sixteen is on the side.
Don't waste anytime inside.
Even when the Summer's passing by

The best drumming ever.

What's the lyrics of the outro?

2019? Anyone?

Even with the summer passing by

The memories in this song...oh man

I wish people told me how much shit was going to hit the fan after I turned 16 until now

Who are listening in 2018?

A melhor banda Indie!

this is the last hour that I can feel 16

listened to this a lot back in high school. now i'm 24.
all my friends, my girl at the time, all gone except in fond memories. time flies! :)

ohaRega same here bud , cheers 🍻

Oh how the time flies…

last night I can be sixteen and listen to this

has to be one of the best riffs ever

I like this!

so chill

still love this song

I feel I can just escape in all their songs :') its like another world that I'm stepping into...

this is about the band... if you listen things must of started to get serious and the dilemma's of pursuing it as a career.

I remember listening to this at 16 and feeling invincible 

tell me about it 6 years ago now

i am 20 now, yet i am still in that discovering state of mind i turned when i was 16, leaving mandatory education opens your eyes; once the people you're around everyday for years are no longer there, it makes you think about the bigger picture in life and what you want out of it. i am currently doing a psychology degree as an aspiring clinical psychologist.

edit: i am currently taking a year out of my second year of university due to depression with issues with family and substance abuse/ ( too many drugs)

edit2: to top it off my close friend killed himself last friday night, i rejected the call because i was playing my game unaware that it was his time in need, and i wasnt there for him, i could of talked him out of it i know i could of. i was supposed to take a year out to get better but it seems its getting worse

@Ben 32  and i just say i'm double the number :P  16x2 :P        never loose that !   <:D  

You're 24 now, maybe 25. How's it been? Im thinking of becoming a clinical psychologist too but I'm 17, nearing my 18th. Hope you're doing well

Hope your well.

wish u well man

I am 25 now, how time flys

"You realize it's real life." 
That's the feeling of being a teen!

This songs the perfect song for a frosty foggy english morning

idk it feels good listening to this song when you're sixteen!!!!

YAY I'm sixteen! This is song is so true though :P

ME ENCANTO!!!!

such a good start

awesome!

Kind of reminds me of Yachts from the 80"s and The Wannadies from the 90's. Full of optimism and swish! BBC are my all time fave live band - and I've seen them all since 1970.

This is possibly the nicest guitar riff ever, I love this songgggg! Can't believe it didnt make the album!

When I look back to when I was 16, this song will always flood my brain with nostalgia.

or that weird time in the the afternoon, like 2pm? Just waiting for time to pass...

i would give this a thumbs up, but 69 is too perfect to mess up

It's on their EP "The Boy I Use To Be"

that's what this music is about

Yeaah I'm sixteen (:

Come back to Boston

It is and How Are We shows up on a later release so no worries!

this song sounds so much better when you're relaxing with friends on a summers day... i really miss summer now

im sixteen!! oh wait gcses....

AWWW...I just turned 17. :(

Anyone else think this sounds more like Maximo Park?

@JasmineBaby05 me neither! :D

This reminds me off a party back in august. Sitting round the fire pit, warm summers night, with this song playing, surrounded by lovely friends.

favorite songgg

@Aquariusbloo3 Haha It reminds me of Winter and all it's good times:)

spectacular, amazing, lovely, supercalafrajalisticexpialidocious!!! (:

makes me excited to turn 16 in december :-)

i am 16 wooohooo

Makes me happy to be sixteen :)

Last song of 2011 Summer...Goodbye! :)

this song sorta makes me wanna sway from side to side with a massive grin on my face

@MrTwilightrocks789 Bombay bicycle club - shuffle

@duckandcaramel That is exactly what I thought! The guitar and bass elements are very similar to Two Door Cinema Club. :) Both bands are pretty similar :)

@ryangooner14 just some songs like "new houses" "hands off my cash, Monty " they both have such great rythms and melodies :)

this song reminds me a little of two door cinema club... :D

a fresh and really sweet song! :D

i think i found a great band!

Such good memories of this song, perfect summers day, my best friends, barbecue and a camp out.
Love it <3

una mas ke tsssssss esta con madres..... bombaaaaaay

First song i heard by them a couple of years back, its still one of my favourites :)

my fave intro to any song!

This song is amazing to listen to after a long day at school/work; sit back, open a beer, and listen to this. <3

you realize...you realize...

This is stonkingly good.

how come this isnt in the album.

i don't dislike any song by them. They are so fucking great <3 <3 I love this band.

This is awesome, check out my bombay bicycle bass covers btw, thanks.

Zoeee or Ciaraaa <3
