Daniel Brinko - teenage idol Lyrics

When I said I'm gonna be a teenage idol, I meant it with my chest and with my heart
You never met nobody like me around these parts
You ain't beheld somebody born to be a star
When I said I'm gonna be a teenage idol, crossed my heart, hoped to die
Told my friends and they can't help but smile, cause they know that their Danny ain't no liar

Sixteen candles in a single breath
Maybe there's a reason that these dreams are in my head
Twenty-two balloons full of air and regret
Maybe there's so much I don't know yet

I said I'm gonna be a teenage idol, and a teenage idol is what I'm gonna be
And contrary to popular opinion, I want my friends up there doing it beside me
Did I get caught up in the teenage idol? Am I the one who broke my heart?
Now things have changed, it's insane and kinda scary, realizing just how long it may take

Sixteen candles in a single breath
Maybe there's a reason that these dreams are in my head
Twenty-two balloons in every color I could get
If you're not following, try this instead

One, two, three, four

Lesson number one was turning dirt into glitter
Number two was how to wink at the boys when they snicker
Number three was how to laugh at all our silly problems
Number four was to watch as the people around you blossom

Lesson number one, how to dance in the rain
Number two is to know the temporariness of pain
Number three is what to say when people doubt the method
Number four is to trust the teenage idol I invented

Sixteen candles in a single breath
Baby there's a reason that those dreams are in your head
Twenty-two balloons, so many years unspent
It may take some time, don't let go yet
