"Teenagers Forever" lyrics

Everybody always say
The kids grow up too fast
You'll understand it when you're older
But it's still not making sense

I've been living in the basement
Waiting for my chance to grow out of it
But I can't

We'll be teenagers forever
But not forever young
Always on the cusp of growing up
But it's never quite enough

I got acne and I'm awkward
Now my knees hurt when I skateboard
I can finally grow a mustache
Worth a damn

Still love Dungeons and Dragons
In the basement with my friends
But everybody's got commitments now
It's getting hard to plan

Every day, I'm playing dress up
Go to work and play and pretend
That I grew out of it
But I can't

We'll be teenagers forever
But not forever young
Always on the cusp of growing up
But it's never quite enough

When do I start liking golf?
When does college start paying off?
When am I done dreaming
Of what I'll be when I grow up (teenagers forever)

I'll never afford a backyard or a kid
The kind of life I grew up with (teenagers forever)
In the cold suburbs of Minnesota
Making loose ends meet (teenagers forever)
All the money's locked up tight
Behind another trust fund kid (teenagers forever)
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of opportunities

I wouldn't call it purgatory
But it might as well be
Teenagers forever
(Teenagers forever)
Teenagers forever
(Teenagers forever)
Teenagers forever
