When You Grow Up
Growing up isn’t ideal,
shadows don’t get harvested,
you get a lump and, in the end,
the world changes in a flash.
I’d rather be a kid,
young, lost,
and never have to grow up.
You can’t keep living like this,
running away your whole life.
You miss out on such beautiful things,
being a parent and having a family.
A man, a destiny,
a thousand dreams fulfilled.
You don’t want to try love.
Tell me, what happens when you grow up?
It’s the mystery and the unease,
it’s the anxiety and the heart
that comes and you can’t control,
the one that doesn’t say goodbye
and the light goes out
when you grow up.
Being just another adult,
turning 13 and getting wisdom teeth.
I don’t want any manual
or have to go to school.
There’s someone who doesn’t want
any plans or responsibilities,
someone who doesn’t want to grow up
and it’s Peter Pan!
Tell me, what happens when you grow up?
It’s the mystery and the unease,
it’s the anxiety and the heart
that comes and you can’t control,
the one that doesn’t say goodbye
and the light goes out
when you grow up.
Tell me, what happens when you grow up?
It’s the mystery and the unease,
it’s the anxiety and the heart
that comes and you can’t control,
the one that doesn’t say goodbye
and the light goes out
when you grow up.
When you grow up,
oh don’t grow up
when you grow up.
