Get Real Lyrics by Paper Mill

Past the West Way - EP

2020

[Verse 1]
I'm amazed that we didn't
But we should have got arrested
Yes, I'm amazed that we didn't get arrested
Were they mistakes that we made
In the summer nights when we were young
Because I don't think I ever had so much fun
I remember thinking here I am, this is it, this is it
On a warm June night, ten p.m., summer on my lips
Somewhere way out west, way out past the west way
Getting drunk with my friends, hoping this is how it stays
[Chorus]
But you gotta grow up
Yeah, you gotta grow up
So get real, get lost
Lose your heart, lose the lot
You gotta grow up
Yeah, you gotta grow up
So get real, get lost
Lose your head, lose the lot
[Verse 2]
I was just nineteen, but I didn't lack certainty
Wish I was half as sure of myself come twenty-three
And it's funny how life stops you bring who you want to be
With more experience, I become more cowardly
I remember thinking here I am, this is me, this is me
I was careless, maybe, if not carefree
Somewhere way out west, way out past the west way
Getting drunk with my friends, hoping this is how it stays
[Chorus]
But you gotta grow up
Yeah, you gotta grow up
So get real, get lost
Lose your head, lose the lot
You gotta grow up
Yeah, you gotta grow up
So get real, get lost
Lose your heart, lose the lot
[Bridge]
Oh man, you're probably right
I should start getting serious about life
When it really feels like I'm stuck in my ways
You're asking me to change
[Chorus]
Said you gotta grow up
Yeah, you gotta grow up
So get real, get lost
[Chorus]
But you gotta grow up
Yeah, you gotta grow up
So get real, get lost
Lose your head, lose the lot
But, yeah, you gotta grow up
Yeah, you gotta grow up
So get real, get lost
Lose your heart, lose the lot
[Outro]
You gotta grow up
Yeah, you gotta grow up
So get real, get lost
Lose your heart, lose the lot
Hey!
