Adults
Every puddle I passed was a chance to jump and splash
Now just a minor inconvenience of wet socks
As time passes we become sad
We forgot all of the small things that made us so happy
Like balloons and pennies left laying on the sidewalk
Growing up is about realizing
You see that the world isn’t all cupcakes and rainbows
Every day you come closer and closer to the inevitable fate
You will grow up
You will get a job, drive, have kids
You'll be an adult soon
And maybe I don't want to grow up, Maybe i want to stay young
Amused by the small things
Having time to play with dolls and legos
Now i have time to work and sleep
Skipping meals becomes a regular deal
Not because I’m struggling to eat no
Just because I don't have time
Growing up means running out of time to enjoy life
And running out of reasons
Reasons to stay happy
