Lyrics

Some folks just ain't made for simple lives
And ever since the Kindergarten
I wrote down my dreams on every page

Teacher says med-school might be nice
But Liam wants to fly to space
And I need six strings and a stage

Now my lungs are filled with doubt
Am I gonna let them down?

Cause when you grow up
You find out what the real world really takes
And what it takes
Is a lot of big decisions
And when you grow up
You start thinking about the money that you'll make
And how you'll make
It all off on your own

On one hand I could just stay close to home
Raise a little family
House on a hill would work alright for me

On the other I could pack it up and go
Hit the road and chase big dreams
The ones that little girl believed

Cause when you grow up
You find out what the real world really takes
And what it takes
Is a lot of big decisions
And when you grow up
You start thinking about the money that you'll make
And how you'll make
It all off on your own
Do you even wanna grow up?

Ooh

I know it'll be alright
But I pray in vain each night

Cause when you grow up
You find out what the real world really takes
And what it takes
Is a lot of big decisions
And when you grow up
You start thinking about the money that you'll make
And how you'll make
It all off on your own

And then you'll go and meet the boy
Who changes all your plans
And then you're all but left to make one choice
Do you even wanna grow up?

Make the money
Make the plans
Do it all as fast as you can
Meet the boy
Change of plans
All grown up before you can stand
