I saw your picture in a box last night
Seems I'm always unpacking, yeah, I moved again
Did I tell you that?
It got me thinking
I've been missing you, thought of calling you
Yeah I wanted to
But I got anxious 'cause that's what adults do

And they start looking back
Don't you hate that

Now you're weighing on my thoughts tonight
Can you explain this
How can you know everything and nothing about my life
At the same time
Time is crazy, I don't know where all my life has gone
I told you secrets, did you keep them, do you miss home
When you start looking back

To those basements and backyard dances
Our song, the front seat of my jeep
In love and taking chances
The night you looked at me and said
Time won't fly, I won't let it
Promise you won't forget it
The way that it is, the way that we are
'Cause kids grow up and grown ups grow apart
Grown ups grow apart, ah

Do you remember summer '09
On my birthday
After dinner, you introduced me to the guy you liked
Now in hindsight
You're so beautiful, I was insecure and I won't lie
It was my birthday and I wanted him and I hate
That I could hurt your feelings like that, yeah
And I can't take it back

To those basements and backyard dances
Our song, the front seat of my jeep
In love and taking chances
The night you looked at me and said
Time won't fly, I won't let it
Promise you won't forget it
The way that it is, the way that we are
'Cause kids grow up and grown ups grow apart
Kids grow up and grown ups grow apart, yeah

Ah, ah

Those basements and backyard dances
Our song, the front seat of my jeep
In love and taking chances
The night you promised me you said
Time won't fly, I won't let it
Promise you won't forget it
The way that it is, the way that we are
'Cause kids grow up and grown ups grow apart
Kids grow up and grown ups grow apart
Kids grow up and grown ups grow apart
