Used to walk everywhere I need Before I let my wrists bleed Holding on to my innocence Trying to feel that good again Looking at pictures tracing over lines that Mold the portrait that's my life Got so jaded over time Looking for a sign that doesn't light Fill out that college application Start a job with no appreciation Ether stimulate the economy Or watch the world burn in front of me We all wanna grow up Till it happens so fast Now the systems fail us Wishing time could go back Before the deep cuts Leave scares in their place These empty promises Are keeping me awake We're just looking for nostalgia Hard times make us feel stuck When it rains it pours a bad flood Just trying to escape this rut Maybe I'm not cut out for this Hate the things we're forced to see Life isn't all that glamorous Take me back to two thousand and three We all wanna grow up Til it happens so fast Now the systems fail us Wishing time could go back Before the deep cuts Leave scares in their place These empty promises Are keeping me awake At least the risks that I take outweigh the mistakes that I make And who I was before today helped move the mountains to make my own way Sometimes I feel like I don't belong here Until I take a breath and I exhale all my fears We all wanna grow up Till it happens so fast Now the systems fail us Wishing time could go back Before the deep cuts Leave scares in their place These empty promises Are keeping me awake We all wanna grow up Till it happens so fast Now the systems fail us Wishing time could go back Before the deep cuts Leave scares in their place These empty promises Are keeping me awake
