We used to paint the town, the bars at night Used to say too much and start a fight Whole life ahead of us, felt so right Oh, the future's so bright I had love but I threw it away Found a little extra time I could waste It seemed freedom had a sweeter taste So here I go, hanging onto this life I know I'm growing up slowly The boys in the band all sold their guitars They gave dreamin' and shootin' for the stars They got a new life on credit cards They're playing it smart I wasn't really 'bout' to hang it up Still looking for something to fill my cup I ain't out of time and I ain't out of luck No I won't fold, I've got more dice to roll I'm growing up slowly But I'd be lyin' if sometimes the grass didn't look a little greener And some days I wonder why I'm diggin deeper and deeper One thing I know, our time is short, and I can't let go I'm growing up slowly Growing up slowly
