[Verse 1]
Meet you down at the bottom, finish a bottle
You know I know all your problems now
Flaked on me back in August
And if I'm honest, you've gotten harder to figure out
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know that you got everything you wanted
I heard a rumor, everybody's talking
About you now
[Chorus]
I really thought that I could fix this, but nothing's different
How come I'm stuck on thinking you'd grow up? (You'd grow up)
I really hoped that we'd be past these problems, past tense
Is it just wishful thinking you'd grow up? (You'd grow up)
[Verse 2]
Dropped it all in a second after your message
Do you remember me calling out?
Meet you back in the wreckage, right where you left it
Do you regret how I see you now?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You said that you got better when you saw me
I heard a rumor, it's medicine and molly
You're blacking out
[Chorus]
I really thought that I could fix this, but nothing's different
How come I'm stuck on thinking you'd grow up? (You'd grow up)
I really hoped that we'd be past these problems, past tense
Is it just wishful thinking you'd grow up? (You'd grow up)
[Outro]
You'd grow up, you'd grow up
You'd grow up, you'd grow up
You'd grow up, you'd grow up
You'd grow up, you'd grow up
You'd grow
