[Verse 1] Just another Sunday afternoon Crying, tryna drown out the sound Of fighting words coming from the living room Going shot for shot in another round We just sweep it under the rug Never talk about it at all We just leave it all messed up Add another brick to the wall [Chorus] Yeah, the thing about growing old young You fast forward through the innocent stuff You cut straight to the falling out of love And thinking maybe you'll never be enough 'Cause you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two Never had a drink but you know what it can do Never got to see the world before yours came undonе That's growing old young [Verse 2] A ten-year-old should be playing housе Not holding theirs together Or blaming yourself or wondering how The bad will ever get any better [Chorus] Yeah, the thing about growing old young You fast forward through the innocent stuff You cut straight to the falling out of love And thinking maybe you'll never be enough 'Cause you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two Never had a drink but you know what it can do Never got to see the world before yours came undone That's growing old young [Bridge] Growing old ain't a choice But sometimes, growing up ain't either When you get cut that young Time's the only healer [Chorus] But the thing about growing old young You'll learn how to get through the tough stuff You'll find a way to fall in love Without your past messing it up I know you've never kissed a boy, but your heart's in two Never had a drink but you know what it can do Never got to see the world before yours came undone I know you're growing old young I know you're growing old young That's the thing about growing old young
