Growing Up

Growing up is hard to do.
Its like looking through someone else's eyes
It makes me so confused.

I have no clue where Im going
I dont know what Im looking for
And just when you think you found the answer
It walks right out the door

I am not getting any younger
I dont want to spend all day
I just wanna find my way.

Looking through the window
The seasons seam to change
Everyday goes oh so slow
I feel like Im deranged

I dont wanna be any different
I dont wanna lose my way
When in doubt, I get on my knees
And Pray.

When you grow up
You need to chose a lane
Put on your turning signal
And go the easy way

The easy way is nicer
The easy way is great
But wait.
Just you wait.

Everything changes.
Nothing stays the same
Suddenly you realize
You are causing others pain.

Its called PMS
Its hard to throw away
But wait. Just you wait.

I dont wanna grow up.
I dont wanna leave.
I dont wanna take the easy road.

I dont wanna grow up.
I just wanna scream
Let my anger out, and leap.

Growing up. 
Growing up.
Growing up, is hard to.....do.
