Dear Growing Up

Lately I've been staring at the sky Looking everywhere for a glimpse of silver line But shorter days are all I ever find Something doesn't feel fair about the way they're passing by Oh what a lie When they said everything gon' be all be all right But what good is everything if everyone's not by your side I feel my youth slip away like the water on the pavement And there's nothing I can do to slow it down Mom and Dad are getting gray and I hate that I can't change it I wish that they could always be around But that's just how life goes We hit some highs and lows But darlin' all I know is I've had enough Dear growing up You're getting old Never knew that 24 would feel this way I was learning how to walk just yesterday Now I just wanna run away And now problems are the only way I learn I seem to find them every way I turn Time's a blessing and a curse What could be worse We try so hard to keep the things you love But it never works I feel my youth slip away like the water on the pavement And there's nothing I can do to slow it down Mom and Dad are getting gray and I hate that I can't change it I wish that they could always be around But that's just how life goes We hit some highs and lows But darlin' all I know is I've had enough Dear growing up You're getting old I'm trembling in my boots Shaking my fist up at the blue What can I do? What can I do? What can I do? Darling all I know is I've had enough Dear growing up You're getting old
