Don't Grow Up

One day in the future, your laugh won't be the same
But I'll remember all your crazy days
When you didn't get your way
When you didn't know how to say what you wanted to say

Talk 'til you're out of breath
Sometimes bored me to death
I would never change it though those talks were the best
Say, Can I get a ride?
Sure, I'll meet you outside.
But, only this one time.
Now you're the one that drives

You'll no longer be little kids, little kids
You'll be old and boring just like me (just like me)
Probably taller, maybe smarter
With your lives you might go farther
I just hope that I, I was a good brother

Think back on the times when I put you on my shoulder
Helped you with your coat as the weather got colder
You don't need me, now you do it on your own
But I'll be here in twenty years, to pick up the phone

Fight tooth and nail with me
Lots of pointless arguing
Get out of my room! I had to scream
When you refused to leave

Mom, he did this to me.
I don't remember that happening
But somehow, relentlessly
The blame was always placed on me (hehe)

You'll no longer be little kids, little kids
You'll be old and boring just like me (just like me)
Probably taller, maybe smarter
With your lives you might go farther
I just hope that I, I was a good brother

You're my living ankle weights
You kept me up too late
Always asking me to play, someone I'd never replace
Wake me up too early, you don't care it's Christmas morning

I hope my kids are just like you when I get old and buried
'Cause I can complain all I want
But someday you have to grow up
But don't grow up, don't grow up

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR
