"The Hell Of Growing Up" lyrics

Jason Reeves & Nelly Joy Lyrics

"The Hell Of Growing Up"

Remember when we were rebels?
Didn't know how to be careful?
I'm never gonna be as cool as I was with you

Sneaking out bedroom windows
Climbing down backyard willows
I put my brothers car in neutral
And let it roll

Two kids in a Honda Civic
Pushing 20 and the limits
Of our bodies in the back seat
Hearts spinnin'
We thought this crazy world was ending
So we weren't scared of beginning
What we never had to finish
And we didn't

Remember when our parents said we were too young?
Maybe they were tryna save us from
The hell of growing up
The hell of growing up

I wish you never got that letter
Cause you were gone by September
You never gave me back my sweater
And it got cold

You told me we could work long distance
Like every other weekend visits
That didn't really work out did it?
And we got old

Two kids in a Honda Civic
Pushing 20 and the limits
Of our bodies in the back seat
Hearts spinnin'
We thought this crazy world was ending
So we weren't scared of beginning
What we never had to finish
And we didn't

Remember when our parents said we were too young?
Maybe they were tryna save us from
The hell of growing up too fast
Or too slow
Either stay with us forever
Or be outta here tomorrow
The hell of growing up

We were two kids in a Honda Civic
Pushing 20 and the limits
Of our bodies in the back seat
Hearts spinnin'
We thought this crazy world was ending
So we weren't scared of beginning
What we never had to finish
And we didn't

Remember when our parents said we were too young?
Maybe they were tryna save us from
The hell of growing up
But it felt like heaven for a minute
At least that's how I remember it
The hell of growing up
The hell of growing up
