Sixteen and the queen of high-school-land,

I couldn't understand how she could be so pretty.

And she's always better than my very best.

And for the rest they wish they were that lucky.



And I'd do what was cool just to make her laugh,

And on her behalf I think she's close to perfect.

You're the island in the sea.

You're the flower in the snow,

That grows strong and free.

You're the power of the moonlight,

Knowing silently,

And you're all the magic that'
