Growing Up Lyrics by McFly

Young Dumb Thrills

2020

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus and Tom Fletcher]
I can't shake this feeling that I’m paranoid
I can't bring back friendships that I destroyed
I slept in again, so I'm unemployed
Over and over again
Think I’m gonna change to a better band
I was raised on music you don't understand
Gonna live my life playing in a band
Let's get in the, get in the van
[Chorus]
There's not much we can do about growing old
But plenty we can do about growing up
When all our parachutes have been shot full of bulletholes
The best that you can do is not give a fuck
[Verse 2: Tom Fletcher and Mark Hoppus]
I picked a fight that I couldn't win
And she gave me coke like heroin
I'll just hate my friends that I'm touring in
Let's get in the, get in the van
Never said look down, never get it straight
Just wind me up till I detonate
Turn the volume off till the levee breaks
Over and over again
[Chorus]
There’s not much we can do about growing old
But plenty we can do about growing up
When all our parachutes have been shot full of bulletholes
The best that you can do is not give a fuck
There’s not much we can do about growing old
But plenty we can do about growing up
When all our parachutes have been shot full of bulletholes
The best that you can do is not give a fuck
The best that you can do is not give a...
