when clinging on to you never seemed to get me anywhere, bringing on the blue was the only thing that helped us see what's there. please believe me, i'm growing up, or at least i'm trying to...

we're leaving like we always said we would
we're wasting no time
we're speaking in rhyme and rhythm
i'm pasting my face on the walls all over town
i hope you will look, i hope i can be found

from waking in the night worried about what i've done to you to "breaking up's alright, i swear to God it's what we've gotta do"

please believe me, i won't grow up, at least not in that filthy way you want me to, the man you're demanding out of me you won't get, wait and see, i'll be a little boy forever

i'm leaving like i always swore to god i would
quit wasting my time, i've paid for my crimes but i can't forget them
you're pasting my face on the milk cartons at school
but no one will look, i've jumped off the pedestal

please believe me, when i grow up this will make a lot more sense

we're leaving like we always said we would
we were wasting our lives
we will waste our lives no longer
i'm taking my place on your television screen
i hope you will look
i hope we can be seen
