lyrics

Tonight we leave the past behind
and all the while we scream out loud
we're still getting by

And they try to tell you otherwise
we're just a bunch of broken kids
ignoring the storm outside (OUTSIDE!)

I'm sick of growing up
The world is on my shoulders
Everything seems to be difficult
now that I'm getting older
I'm sick of growing up
The world is on my shoulders
Everything seems to be difficult
now that I'm getting older

And I reach out and cry
I've been to the depths and back
I just want one more try (so we tell them)

So tonight we take to the skies (we take to the skies)
take a breath and show the world
that we're still alive (WE'RE STILL ALIVE!)

I'm sick of growing up
The world is on my shoulders
Everything seems to be difficult
now that I'm getting older
I'm sick of growing up
The world is on my shoulders
Everything seems to be difficult
now that I'm getting older

I spent the last night thinking of this
the town I came from and the people I'm going to miss
but in my travels I won't forget you
instead I'll say "hi" to my new home and I'll start brand new
