[Verse 1]
I'm as broken as my iPhone
I don't always take the high road
There's no way I'm hitting those high notes
Without the help of auto-tune, I know
Everybody wanna go viral
But we're in a downward spiral
I keep on checking my vitals
Okay, I feel it
I'm alive ohh
Still breathing
Got my hand on my chest
Still beating
I've been stressed out since last weekend
It's feeling like these days repeating
I don't have to get any older
I got enough weight on my shoulder
[Chorus]
I don't wanna grow up
The way I feel, man
I'm old enough
These days I can't open up
And everyone is hard to trust
I don't wanna grow up
I'm doing things that are hard enough
Falling in and out of love
I don't have the time to make up
I don't wanna grow up
[Verse 2]
I'm so caught up in my role
I feel like I'm stuck in recital
Maybe I'm just in denial
But either way, man
It's getting old
Everybody's so entitled
They want the free without the trial
They say, "You should laugh and smile"
But I'm not that good at lying ohh
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder how my life would be
It's just pretending
If I did the things I knew I shoulda' done from the beginning
Maybe I shoulda' fought to get way more than I was getting
Or maybe just appreciate the fact that I got any
I never shoulda' left the ocean for this stupid city
How come the ones I love the most are those who never get me?
Sometimes I wanna be alone and run off where it's pretty
But I know responsibilities will probably never let me, thats real
[Chorus]
I don't wanna grow up
The way I feel, man
I'm old enough
These days I can't open up
And everyone is hard to trust
I don't wanna grow up
I'm doing things that are hard enough
Falling in and out of love
I don't have the time to make up
I don't wanna grow up
The way I feel, man
I'm old enough
These days I can't open up
And everyone is hard to trust
I don't wanna grow up
I'm doing things that are hard enough
Falling in and out of love
I don't have the time to make up
I don't wanna grow up
(Grow up, grow up, grow up)
(I don't have the time to make up)
(I don't wanna grow up)
