We grew up in the countryside
Feels like another life
I've still got the polaroid
From back when we were boys

My friends, they look older now
Somehow they are colder there
When we first started out
I've known them all my life

I don't wanna be a grown up, a grown up
Look at me, my skin is older, is older
Just a boy in the body of a man
One day I walked, then I crawled, then I ran
But I don't wanna be a grown up, a grown up

It was always just you and me
Summer spent climbing trees
And we kept the world at bay
Our little hideaway

I don't wanna be a grown up, a grown up
Look at me, my skin is older, is older
Just a boy in the body of a man
One day I walked, then I crawled, then I ran
But I don't wanna be a grown up, a grown up

One day I'll be walking back down that lane
Seemed so much easier back then
One day I'll be coming back home again
And I've known it all my life
One day I'll be walking back down that lane
Seemed so much easier back then
One day I'll be coming back home again
And I've known it all my life

I don't wanna be a grown up, a grown up
Look at me, my skin is older, is older
Just a boy in the body of a man
One day I walked, then I crawled, then I ran
But I don't wanna be a grown up, a grown up
