this is growing up - almost monday

They don’t tell you how to become a man

With stars in your eyes, nothing in your hands

Hearts been broken two hundred forty times

A couple from the lovers, the rest of the faults were mine

So don’t turn your back, careful what you say

It’s hard to take it back, I know what you meant

When you were three feet high, mother told you why

And now it makes you cry

This is growing up

And I’ve found 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

Oh, we’re changing, this is growing up

Back to the dream we once had

Back to the childhood romance

When your 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, I know what you meant

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’ve found 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’ve found 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
