Lyrics[]
Growing up isn't something you can make happen
When you want it to
But since we're all growing up together
I guess I'll grow up with you
We can take turns taking the reins
Lean on each other when we need some extra strength
We'll never cave or we'll never waver
And we'll always become braver and braver
We'll dance like nobody's there, we'll dance without any cares
We'll talk 'bout problems we share, we'll talk 'bout things that ain't fair
We'll sing 'bout things we don't know, we'll sing to people and show
What it means to be young and growing up
Under the table, we'll whisper in each other's ears
We'll share our hopes and dreams, and all our other greatest fears
And when we get burned from jumping in the fire
We'll never tire, 'cause we'll always find ways to fly higher
We'll dance like nobody's there, we'll dance without any cares
We'll talk 'bout problems we share, we'll talk 'bout things that ain't fair
We'll sing 'bout things we don't know, we'll sing to people and show
What it means to be young and growing up
I make as many good memories as I can
When there are nights I can't sleep, it's okay in the end
I know what I do now makes me me
Wherever we go, wherever we go we-
We'll dance like nobody's there, we'll dance without any cares
We'll talk 'bout problems we share, we'll talk 'bout things that ain't fair
We'll sing 'bout things we don't know, we'll sing to people and show
What it means to be young and growing up
We'll take the good with the bad
All of the times that we'll have
Make every moment last
We'll have each other's backs
'Cause in the end we don't know
We don't know where we will go
We don't know, so there's still a little more
Growing up
