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
