D                                  A
I watch you grow away from me in photographs
                    G
And memories like spies
                     D
And salt betrays my eyes again
D                           A
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
                   G
And wishing I was ten again
                     D
So I could be your friend again

Chorus:
D                               A
These days we go to waste like wine
                        G
That's turned to turpentine
                    D
It's six AM and I'm all messed up
D                            A
I didn't mean to waste your time
                      G
So I'll fall back in line
                            D
But I'm warning you we're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play
And there's no one allowed in
Then just when we believe we could be great
Reality it permeates
And conquers from within again

Chorus

I know we're growing....
I know we're OK
