Takeoff

16 candles
15 minutes
14 years gone down the drain
I feel like I'm 13 again
12 steps from peace, tethered to pain
11 nights I've cried
10,000 deaths I've died

I could be 9 lives stronger
Riding 8 seconds longer
We've got 7 world wonders
And 6 musical chairs
It's 5 till 4
And there are 3 left standing
It's 2 against 1
I'm gonna takeoff
The weather looks fair

16 states
In 15 days
And 14 songs on repeat play
I'm 13 miles from Mexico
And 12 have all but slipped away
11 eagles fly
10,000 hills roll by

I could be 9 lives stronger
Riding 8 seconds longer
We've got 7 world wonders
And 6 musical chairs
It's 5 till 4
And there are 3 left standing
It's 2 against 1
I'm gonna takeoff
The weather looks fair
