growing up takes a lifetime
I'm double the age I was when i was seventeen
Sometimes I still feel caught in a teenie dream
Not the one with butterflies
Lip gloss rosy kiss goodbyes
No, I mean the anxious kind
I've got all I need somehow it's not enough
One look in the mirror and I call the bluff
And my hair is just as long
As when I wrote my first song
And played it for a girl I liked
I guess, growing up takes a lifetime
The years stack up ahead
As they are left behind
I keep my guard up for the long ride
Is there anyone
Who's gonna ride along
With me
Every now and then I think I've got it straight
I can read the markers and I'm on my way
Like a recurring melody
The world comes crashing over me
Drowning out the guiding light
I guess, growing up takes a lifetime
The years stack up ahead
As they are left behind
I keep my guard up for the long ride
Is there anyone
Who's gonna ride along
With me
Thinking about the time when I turn seventy
I'm worried for the world and for humanity
Everyone still on their phone
My kids with kids of their own
And what's haunting them at night
I guess, growing up takes a lifetime
The years stack up ahead
As they are left behind
I keep my guard up for the long ride
Is there anyone
Who's gonna ride along
With me
Sometimes I still feel caught in a teenie dream
Not the one with butterflies
Lip gloss rosy kiss goodbyes
No, I mean the anxious kind
I've got all I need somehow it's not enough
One look in the mirror and I call the bluff
And my hair is just as long
As when I wrote my first song
And played it for a girl I liked
I guess, growing up takes a lifetime
The years stack up ahead
As they are left behind
I keep my guard up for the long ride
Is there anyone
Who's gonna ride along
With me
Every now and then I think I've got it straight
I can read the markers and I'm on my way
Like a recurring melody
The world comes crashing over me
Drowning out the guiding light
I guess, growing up takes a lifetime
The years stack up ahead
As they are left behind
I keep my guard up for the long ride
Is there anyone
Who's gonna ride along
With me
Thinking about the time when I turn seventy
I'm worried for the world and for humanity
Everyone still on their phone
My kids with kids of their own
And what's haunting them at night
I guess, growing up takes a lifetime
The years stack up ahead
As they are left behind
I keep my guard up for the long ride
Is there anyone
Who's gonna ride along
With me
