Growing up

hey you look at me

why is it just so hard to see

anything that isn't you

in the ever passing moments

that seem to fly right past





i used to think that this was ok

and that things were going fine

but used to be is no more

and im sicking of looking out below

it isn't fair how things go!!!





(chorus)



SO what happened to the days

that we used to have fun in?

who said that this was easy

cuz you've got another thing coming

you can try to cut the corners

but you'll never make it that far

you be right back from where you start

those days weren't built to last

why did they retreat so fast?



you remember all those times

that we said we would stay the same

well what happened to our plans?

as the months turned to years

our paths seemed to part ways



with all new curve and unexpected drops

all the girls and getting mad props

we used to think nothing would phase us

but the truth never stayed gold



(chorus)



SO what happened to the days

that we used to have fun in?

who said that this was easy

cuz you've got another thing coming

you can try to cut the corners

but you'll never make it that far

you be right back from where you start

those days weren't built to last

why did they retreat so fast?





(bridge)



And i used to think that we could go back

but it never seems to work out anymore

its just part of living up to

all the expectations and new hieghts

but someday it will be like this again

and i can't wait to see you come around

because unlike all those times we were built to last

and one day we'll come back----



(chorus)



SO what happened to the days

that we used to have fun in?

who said that this was easy

cuz you've got another thing coming

you can try to cut the corners

but you'll never make it that far

you be right back from where you start

those days weren't built to last

why did they retreat so fast?
