[Verse 1]
The older I get
The younger the old seem
I'm further from sixteen now
That’s 'bout when I left
The town that I come from
Now those friends have moved on, yeah
And isn't it sad
That drinking in the park was the best thing we had? Oh
Just there in your car
Singing songs about love before we knew what it was
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m growing up
But I'm still young at heart
How do I make time stop?
'Cause I'm still waiting to start
[Verse 2]
I remember the nights
Too young to get in
We memorized all the lines on your sister's card
Now we'd rather stay in and talk over cheap red wine
And look at us now
Scared of the future, gettin' lost in the past, oh
And I don't know how
But life flies by like a bullet in the sky
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m growing up (I’m growing)
But I'm still young at heart
How do I make time stop?
’Cause I'm still waiting to start
[Post-Chorus]
And I'm holding on
But I keep falling apart (Falling apart)
How do I make time stop?
'Cause I’m still waiting to start
[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I want a thousand first loves
Don't want no fast goodbyes (No fast goodbyes)
But I'll love every first touch
Like the feelings are high (Ohh-oh)
I want a thousand first loves
Don't want no fast goodbyes (Goodbyes)
But I'll love every first touch
Like the feelings are high
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm growing up
But I'm still young at heart
How do I make time stop?
'Cause I'm still waiting to start
[Post-Chorus]
And I'm holding on
But I keep falling apart
How do I make time stop?
'Cause I'm still waiting to start
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm still waiting to start
