I watch you grow away from me in photographs, and memories like spies,
The salt betrays my eyes again,
I've started losing sleep and gaining weight, and wishing I was ten again
And I could be your friend again...

(Chorus:)
But these days we go to waste like wine, that turns to turpentine
It's six AM and I'm all messed up,
I wouldn't want to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line but I'm warning you
We're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say,
You found a little game to play and there's no freaks allowed
Then just when we believe we could be great, reality it permeates
And conquers from within

(Chorus:)
These days we go to waste like wine that turns to turpentine
It's six AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line but I'm warning you
We're growing up...we're growing up
