about

This is a song about growing up

lyrics

Do you remember being a kid
Playing pretend
You wanted to be a super hero or princess
Just wanted to be someone of interest

Remember when you were just about 10
When you found out
Santa claus, the easter bunny, the tooth fair
They were all just pretend

You know how they told you
You can be anything you wanted to be
But what are they?
What the fuck would they be?
If they could be anything
Then why do they hate their lives?

Next thing you know,
You're staring down the timeline of 25 years
Your parents don't have the guts to tell you
Some guy you talk to online
has the nerve to tell you
you have decide What you're going to do with your life
Because if you keep waiting around
You're never going to sum out to anything

And you start to realize
Just like the easter bunny
Just like when you could play pretend
This has all been a game that they played with you
They enthuised it, they just didn't want your dreams to die so soon
They wanted you to be able o sleep at night and look forward to life
They wanted you to be able to continue forward and not feel like they did

And just like before
You could pretend that your goldfish or your dog that died
Ran away, or if you knew, you pretend that they go to heaven
But you know that they are just in a box, in the dirt, in your fucking back yard
There's no proof, just keep pretending

Because growing up
Growing up... Getting older, doesn't mean growing up
Growing up means taking responsibility of knowing everything dies
Everyone you love, your imagination
Your dreams.

They told you not to give up your dreams
But deciding to grow up
And settle for mediocrity
that's giving up, that's giving up on everything
Why did you even believe it?
What other lies did they tell you?
