this is growing up Lyrics

I hate change, but at my age I'm more afraid of if things stay the same

If life's a game, I don't wanna play this

way

21, I know that's young

I barely know who I want to become

But sometimes time moves slow and thats no fun

Now my friends are married and I've never been in love

Some are having babies and all I can do is shrug it off

Like what's the rush? It's no big deal, punch in the gut

I'll be filming covers while careers are taking off

Clapping in the back for people standing at the front

Not for lack of trying, but I guess for lack of luck

I'll never understand

People that I love are promising they'll never leave

Then they miss my calls cause you know life gets busy

And then there's those that talk their way and say we're family

But they're the first to bail as soon as life gets messy

All my friends seem happy, I mean why wouldn't they be

Highlight Reel says everyone is living the dream

Maybe somehow I got stuck between realities

If anyone would can't say I'm surprised, it would be me

It's a wake up call that I've spent most my nights crying

Waiting for the day when finally the turn is mine

Finally he likes me back, finally the crowd reacts

Finally I don't feel like my life's completely out of whack

Wishing, hoping, praying that someday it'll be fine

When listening to laughter only sounds like taking time

At this point I feel bad, I think maybe I said too much

I guess everyone failed to mention this is growing up
