Shouldn’t I Be Grown Up By Now?

[Verse 1]
Midnight on a holiday
You're calling me to come over tomorrow
And I thought it's been a decade
Since I moved away this shouldn't be a problem, right?
But you know all my buttons
'Cause you made them, I'm reverting
And I hate it you don't know me anymore
So why do you hold me in the palm of your hand still?

[Chorus]
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Didn't my daddy show me how?
I left my home and I bought this house
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?

[Verse 2]
Built a whole new life without you
Never think about you, but I saw you tonight
You didn't have to say a thing
Suddenly I'm seventeen, I don't know why
Time plays a funny game
Didn't heal anything, I just forgot
The way you say my name and I feel the wall shake
Guess I can't just live you down

[Chorus]
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Didn't my daddy show me how?
Left my home and I bought this house
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Found a new life westward bound
All my old friends say they're proud
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?

[Bridge]
I walked down Dickson Street
As spring was turning, I finally felt
The sun's warmth on my skin
I saw your friend and I asked her how you been
And I wish you well
And I mean it, and I mean it

[Pre-Chorus]
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?

[Chorus]
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Didn't my daddy show me how?
Left my home and I bought this house
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
Shouldn't I be grown up by now?
