I gotta be honest, growing up, scares the shit out of me I still don't feel like I'm ready to take on all of the responsibilities That come with growing older I'm starting to accept the reality That I wanna be forever 17
Hanging out on a Friday night, in a dingy basement, with fluorescent lights Getting drunk with a group of my best friends, on a bottle of cheap wine And why is it that I spend every waking hour, trying to help everybody that surrounds us But I can't even seem to help myself
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be like you I knew when I grew up, I wanted to stay true To all the views and morals, I had when I was growing up Now I'm just drowning myself in a half empty paper cup
We need to get out of this town Our walls are caving in We've got too much going on My patience is running thin These Polaroids are fading And we can't Remember the days When we last saw a smile On our faces
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be like you I knew when I grew up, I wanted to stay true To all the views and morals, I had when I was growing up Now I'm just drowning myself in a half empty paper cup
