[Verse 1]
I drove down by the house that I lived in
When it was simple, didn’t know what I’d been given
Packed up, started on the path that’s twisting
Everywhere we shifting, Spruce, Grove, Harrison
Should’ve faded but I see it in my vision
Blue and gray, no food in the kitchen
Contemplatin' why we gotta make decisions
To throw it all away and spend the rest of life relivin'
When we would play with the neighborhood kids
Or puttin' all the new games on my wishlist
Or listenin' to Green Day and the Misfits
Maybe I should act my age, I don’t give a shit
[Chorus]
I don’t think that I’ll ever know
If there is any kind of antidote
To make the days seem bearable
So I’ll keep my eyes shut
Remember back to my parent’s home
Where we would race on the 64
And stay up late for my favorite shows
I give up on growin' up
[Verse 2]
Feelin' nervous with the time that I’m wastin'
Clock tickin' on the feeling I’ve been chasin'
Yeah, I was so close I could taste it
But I don’t think I’ll make it and I can’t even face it
Should feel lucky that it hasn’t been erased yet
Everybody else, yeah, they already replaced it
Living in the old pictures we had taken
We call this place home, why’s it feel so vacant
The old days were the best that I ever had
And with the chance I’d give anything to get 'em back
Worst day in my whole life when I realized
Before it’s gone, gotta act fast, can’t think twice
[Chorus]
I don’t think that I’ll ever know
If there is any kind of antidote
To make the days seem bearable
So I’ll keep my eyes shut
Remember back to my parent’s home
Where we would race on the 64
And stay up late for my favorite shows
I give up on growin' up
[Bridge]
(Lookin' back, thinkin' all about the good times
All the days spent out in the sunshine
If I could give my former self a word of caution
Prepare to let it go because there ain’t no other option)
(Lookin' back, thinkin' all about the good times
All the days spent out in the sunshine
If I could give my former self a word of caution
Prepare to let it go because there ain’t no other option)
[Chorus]
I don’t think that I’ll ever know
If there is any kind of antidote
To make the days seem bearable
So I’ll keep my eyes shut
Remember back to my parent’s home
Where we would race on the 64
And stay up late for my favorite shows
I give up on growin' up
(Up, up, up)
I give up on growin' up
(Up, up, up)
I give up on growin' up
