GROWN UPS GROW APART Songtext
von Betty Who

I saw your picture in a box last night
Seems I′m always unpacking
Yeah, I moved again, did I tell you that?

It got me thinkin'
I′ve been missing you, thought of calling you
Yeah, I wanted to, but I got anxious
'Cause that's what adults do
And they start looking back

Don′t you hate that?
Now, you′re weighing on my thoughts tonight
Can you explain this?
How can you know everything and nothing about my life
At the same time?

Time is crazy, I don't know where all my life has gone
I told you secrets, did you keep them?
Do you miss home when you start looking back?


To those basements and backyard dances
Our song, the front seat of my Jeep
In love, in taking chances
The night you looked at me and said
"Time won′t fly, I won't let it
Promise you won′t forget it
The way that it is, the way that we are
'Cause kids grow up and grown-ups grow apart"
Grown-ups grow apart, yeah

Do you remember summer ′09 on my birthday?
After dinner, you introduced me to the guy you liked
Now, in hindsight, you're so beautiful, I was insecure
And I won't lie, it was my birthday and I wanted him
And I hate that I could hurt your feelings like that
Yeah, and I can′t take it back

To those basements and backyard dances
Our song, the front seat of my Jeep
In love, in taking chances
The night you looked at me and said
"Time won′t fly, I won't let it
Promise you won′t forget it
The way that it is, the way that we are
'Cause kids grow up and grown-ups grow apart"
Kids grow up and grown-ups grow part, yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh


Those basements and backyard dances
Our song, the front seat of my Jeep
In love, in taking chances
The night you promised me, you said
"Time won′t fly, I won't let it
Promise you won′t forget it
The way that it is, the way that we are
'Cause kids grow up and grown-ups grow apart"
Kids grow up and grown-ups grow apart

Kids grow up and grown-ups grow apart
