[Intro]
(Oh)
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba-ba
[Verse 1]
It's so funny how "growing up" is also "apart"
If we knew it'd end this way, why'd we even start?
I'm over this, too old for it
I bet you thought that growing up would make you more mature
But I feel more like a kid than I ever did before
I'm over this, too old for
[Pre-Chorus]
Finding peace of mind
In pieces all the time
I guess that's just the way it goes
Is breaking by design (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba-ba
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants a piece of me and I don't know why
There are only so many parts before I roll over and cry
I'm over this, too old for it
And I'll try to do thе things that keep me moving on
'Cause my heartbеat will beat until it's greeted by the sun
And I'm over this, too old for it
[Bridge]
Why do I owe these things? I'm over this
But I'm old enough to know that
I'm not who I'd thought I'd be by now
Growing up shouldn't even be allowed
Why do I owe these things? I'm over this
But I'm old enough to know that
I'm not who I'd thought I'd be by now
Growing up shouldn't even be allowed
Why do I owe these things? I'm over this
But I'm old enough to know that
I'm not who I'd thought I'd be by now
Growing up shouldn't even be allowed
[Chorus]
(Oh)
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba, bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba
Bada-ba-ba-bada-ba-ba
