[Verse 1]
I was living just to learn, now I'm learning how to live
I'm the youngest that I've felt at the oldest that I've been
Used to be a small adult, now I'm just a big kid (Just a big kid)
I would check the water first, now I dive right in
(Switch it up)
[Chorus]
Switch it up, make it loud
If it kinda freaks you out
You should probably do it now (Do it now, do it now)
We're alive somehow
So, you bet we're going out
Part of growing up is growing down, down, down, down
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-down
Down, down, down, down
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
[Verse 2]
I was such an only child (I was such an only child), scared of scraping up a knee
Twenty-one, it wasn't wild, wasn't messy, wasn't free (Wasn't free)
But it cost me
Now I crack a little smile, every time I get a bruise
From doing something kinda dumb, having fun
'Cause it means I let loose (Sick)
[Chorus]
Switch it up, make it loud
If it kinda freaks you out
You should probably do it now (Do it now, do it now)
We're alive somehow
So, you bet we're going out
Part of growing up is growing down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
[Bridge]
The more I know, the more I don't (The more)
The more I know (I know, the more), the more I don't (I don't)
[Chorus]
Switch it up, make it loud
If it kinda freaks you out
You should probably do it now (Do it now, do it now)
We're alive somehow
So, you bet we're going out
Part of growing up is growing down, down, down, down
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-down
Down, down, down, down
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
[Outro]
I'm the oldest I've ever been
I'm the youngest I've ever felt
If you're going out, count me in
'Cause I'm growing down, I'm growing down
