Lyrics
Hey man, remember what those days were like so long ago?
It’s not nostalgia, just admiration of the antegrow,
Rose may be the color of my back looking glasses,
But man, in retrospect, I wish those days han’t passed us!
Growing up, growing up,
A little older every day,
Growing up, growing up,
Changing along the way,
Growing up, growing up,
The future’s here to stay,
Growing up, growing up,
There’s still a price to pay…
I don’t want to change
—Get out of the good ol’ days,
Said I don’t want to change,
—Then get out of my way,
I don’t want to change,
—You’ll get lost in the fray,
Said I don’t want to change,
—Man, just walk away
Growing up, growing up,
A little older every day,
Growing up, growing up,
Changing along the way,
Growing up, growing up,
The future’s here to stay,
Growing up, growing up,
There’s still a price to pay…
It’s just that these days everything seems so miserable,
I yearn for a time when things were still quite livable,
Remember back when you and I first met?
Content and contained, no sign of decay had happened yet.
Growing up, growing up,
A little older every day,
Growing up, growing up,
Changing along the way,
Growing up, growing up,
The future’s here to stay,
Growing up, growing up,
There’s still a price to pay…
I think that we have changed,
—There’s no need to explain,
But I know that we have changed,
—Holding on just sounds deranged,
I think that we have changed,
—The past was just as insane,
But I know that we have changed,
—It’s not possible to contain,
Growing up, growing up,
A little older every day,
Growing up, growing up,
Changing along the way,
Growing up, growing up,
The future’s here to stay,
Growing up, growing up,
There’s still a price to pay…
I don’t care if life just goes and passes me by,
I’m happy where I am and that you can’t deny,
Change is artificial, product of society,
I refuse to accept it as some sort of propriety!
Growing up, growing up,
A little older every day,
Growing up, growing up,
Changing along the way,
Growing up, growing up,
The future’s here to stay,
Growing up, growing up,
There is no price I’ll pay…
