this is growing up

They don't tell you how to become a man

With stars in your eyes, nothing in your hands

Hearts been broken 240 times

A couple from their lovers, the rest of the thoughts were mine

So don't turn your back, careful what you say, tried to take it back

Remember what you learned when you were three feet high

Mother told you why and now it makes you cry

♪

This is growing up

And I find myself again

Coming back to play pretend

It's so easy to be young

But I'm changing

This is growing up

This is growing up

I'm changing

This is growing up

Back to the dream we once had

Back to the childhood romance

When you danced all night and my feet didn't move

But the walls they knew, you'd be mine

Yeah, I know it's sad, time is moving on and you can't take it back

Remember what you learned when you were three hours late

And your dad had to wait 'cause you slept through half of the day

This is growing up

And I find myself again

Coming back to play pretend

It's so easy to be young

But I'm changing

This is growing up

This is growing up

This is growing up

And I find myself again

Coming back to play pretend

It's so easy to be young

But I'm changing

This is growing up
