Growing Old Young

Just another Sunday afternoon

Cryin', tryna drown out the sound

Of fightin' words comin' 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

Yeah, the thing about growing old young

You fast-forward through the innocent stuff

You cut straight to the fallin' out of love

And thinkin' 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

A ten-year-old should be playin' house

Not holdin' theirs together

Or blamin' yourself or wonderin' how

The bad will ever get any better

Yeah, the thing about growing old young

You fast-forward through the innocent stuff

You cut straight to the fallin' out of love

And thinkin' 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

Growing old ain't a choice

But sometimes, growing up ain't either

When you get cut that young

Time's the only healer

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 messin' 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, (Ooh, yeah)

I know you're growing old young

That's thing about growing old young
