Tell your mom that you're not coming home tonight
You've got your youth, your will, and you're willing to fight
And no conscience could keep your heart in one piece
There's passion to be found, there's stress, there's release
So into the open air you soak it all in
And live your life like the world owes you something more
Than what you have
Like a one-way ticket or any free ride
Or a brand new box to put your head inside
Or a neat new monument with your name etched in
Or a home you call your own, new problem free
Willingly withdraw from certainty and lack of sleep
On the pure and peaceful path of sleeping in
Growing gets hard, waiting gets old
You will live
And I know that feeling's no fun
It feels like you're out, down, and done
You will live
Oh, grow up
When will you ever learn?
When will you learn that candle in the window
Is gonna be the reason your whole house burns?
And the money, it's a carrot on a string
There's a horse standing over a black hole basement
After losing everything but your car
You know it, it runs like a dream
And your hair and skin are so fuckin' clean
And everyone looks at you like you're an angel or something
But we'll take the blame, hand it over, knowing what's wrong
And we'll give you the stuff that you need to belong
And hope that's what you need, by a small chance
A quick and heavy dose of acceptance
Growing gets hard, time is running out
You'll die a young and exciting death
And you will tell us all in your last breath
"I'm done, there's nothing to be happy about"
And then the flowers come up and they push up on that
And now's your chance to seize the moment, seize this all
While your smile, oh no, it hides what's beneath
Keeps the sadness a secret as we grow old
And we take it all, and mistake it all, and just take it all
And now I know there's mistakes that go along with you
So choose to replace or take them with you
And I feel so bad now that I'm so old
So angry, so broke, so unhappy, ten years and nothing, and
Growing gets hard, waiting gets old
You will live
And I know that feeling's no fun
It feels like you're out, down, and done
You will live
And you'll die a young and exciting death
And you will tell us all in your last breath
"I'm done, there's nothing to be happy about"
You've got your youth, your will, and you're willing to fight
And no conscience could keep your heart in one piece
There's passion to be found, there's stress, there's release
So into the open air you soak it all in
And live your life like the world owes you something more
Than what you have
Like a one-way ticket or any free ride
Or a brand new box to put your head inside
Or a neat new monument with your name etched in
Or a home you call your own, new problem free
Willingly withdraw from certainty and lack of sleep
On the pure and peaceful path of sleeping in
Growing gets hard, waiting gets old
You will live
And I know that feeling's no fun
It feels like you're out, down, and done
You will live
Oh, grow up
When will you ever learn?
When will you learn that candle in the window
