Growing Up Lyrics by Fall Out Boy

Believers Never Die: Greatest Hits

2002

[Verse 1]
I dried my eyes, now I'll crust them with sleep
I'll crust them over
She begged me, "Don't hate me"
She spun me a story

Where winning looks like losing
And I'm winning every time
So thread spools, sweetie, get ready
Until my silk is sold

[Chorus]
Growing up
Growing up
Growing up

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah! I'll find myself anew
Yeah! I'll find myself anew

[Verse 2]
I've dried my eyes, now it's "Rushmore"
I'm deep with futures like Chicago
No, Glenview never meant a thing to me
She never meant a thing to me
Except for putting idealists in a body bag

Forget it
I'll go out tonight and piss on her doorstep
And listen to The Misfits "Where Eagles Dare"
To swallow whole

[Chorus]
Up
Growing up
Growing up
Go!

[Bridge]
Whoa, I guess I'm my own better half
Whoa, I guess I'm my own better half

[Outro]
Whoa, yeah, I guess I'm on my own
Yeah, yeah, I guess I'm on my own
Yeah, I guess I'm on my own
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess I'm on my own
