Growing Up

I sat with my feet in the water
I felt the wind on my head
Turned around and saw the city
A grid of pain and love with no end
How many shots ‘till you’re all used up?
And how many tears ‘till the sky?
How many suns ‘till it all lights up?
And how much love is in your eyes?

And is this growing up?
Is this growing up?

Wait just a second and you’ll see her
She’s a yellow fish hiding in the waves
We we’re both looking down and she jumped right out
And we laughed and we laughed ‘till it helped
You said “Alex I don’t know where I’m going”
It was dark but a tear was holding on
We’re two steps from the bar
There’s a jumper in my car
And we can sit there
‘Till we’re warm enough

And is this growing up?
Is this growing up?
Is this growing up?
Is this growing up?

If you painted me what colour would you make me?
Orange purple blue, who am I to you?
And what do I need to be to make the whole world want me?
Is it all about remembering or forgetting?
When is my parking ticket ending?
What takes the water to the sky?
And why can we break, how do we know that we can take it?
Is there still love in your eyes?

And is this growing up?
Is this growing up?
Is this growing up?
Is this growing up?
Is this growing up?
Is this growing up?
Is this growing up?
