[Verse 1] These days I can barely remember my own name Most days you can find me passed out In the backyard with my friends We wholeheartedly waited desperately with anxiety For the right one to come alone With a cigarette in our hand, burning at our souls [Chorus] Yeah, we grew up, grew up We stood up, stood up We let our lungs give out And we look back, look back To the smiles that we lacked Promised ourselves that we’d figure it out [Verse 2] I’m not gonna raise my child to be afraid of The things I was told to fear When he grows up, I hope He’s a better man than his father They say that getting older is the greatest part But they don’t teach you how to grow up from the start And we’re expected to get by on a wage we can’t survive on I’m not saying that we’re all perfect But it doesn’t mean we can’t try [Chorus] We grew up, grew up We stood up, stood up We let our lungs give out And we look back, look back To the smiles that we lacked Promised ourselves that we’d figure it out [Post-Chorus] I’m not gonna raise my child to be afraid of The things I was told to fear When he grows up I hope He’s a better man than his father [Bridge] Yeah, we grew up, grew up We stood up, stood up We let our lungs give out And we look back, look back To the smiles that we lacked Promised ourselves that we’d figure it out [Chorus] We grew up, grew up We stood up, stood up We let our lungs give out And we look back, look back To the smiles that we lacked Promised ourselves that we’d figure it out [Post-Chorus] I’m not gonna raise my child to be afraid of The things I was told to fear When he grows up I hope He’s a better man than his father [Outro] Enhance this world to surpass and outmatch Everything you know it should be Enhance this world to surpass and outmatch Everything you know it should be
