lyrics

Fireworks looked brighter when I was a kid
I never realized how much that I would dim
And all the timing it seemed so slow
And now I sit around and watch the hours go

Growing up is such a trick
Fell in line with all the older kids
Growing up is such a trick
And I easily fell for it

Do you wake up every morning
With a big smile strapped to your face
Is it something you have to force yourself to do
So you no longer fit in with the youth

Growing up is such a trick
Fell in line with all the older kids
Growing up is such a trick
And I easily fell for it

Why can't you ever be serious
Is life just one big joke
Yeah, you have to be real with yourself
Yeah, this bit is getting old

Save yourself before you get away
Realize you shouldn't waste any of your days
Get lost somewhere and then you'll find
A way to heal yourself deep inside

Growing up is such a trick
Fell in line with all the older kids
Growing up is such a trick
And I can't believe I fell for it

And I fell for it
And I fell for it
And I fell for it
