[Verse 1]
Stuck in a rut can't keep from growing up
We try to stay right where we are
We're getting older every minute every day
We want to keep what's in the past
But it's slipping much too fast for us to keep up
We don't want to let it get away
Ooooh
[Verse 2]
Hold on, rewind, and now we're going back through time
Running barefoot in the sand we're building castles
And setting up our lemonade stands
Would you like to buy a cup
We really hope it fills you up
It's only 25 cents
And its money well spent
Ooooh
[Chorus]
Growing up is tough
Let go of just enough
Don't want to let it slip away
Don't want to have to turn the page
I hope the memories don't change
But the future's in the way
Don't want to lose it as we lose ourselves in time
Ooooh
Growing up is tough
Let go of just enough
[Verse 3]
Fast forward twenty years from now
We don't know how we lost it all
We took a fall, a trip, a stumble and it snowballed into something we never planned at all
We tried, we failed, we took a trail that led us to destruction and we
[Chorus]
Don't want to let it slip away
Don't want to have to turn the page
I hope the memories don't change
But the future's in the way
Don't want to lose it as we lose ourselves in time
Ooooh
Growing up is tough
Let go of just enough
Ooooh
Growing up is tough
Let go of just enough
