"Grown Up" lyrics

"Grown Up"

I can remember the feeling of being small
Praying to a God I don't believe in to grow tall

Can you remember the evenings of your youth?
Losing track of time, losing count of hours
Losing your balance, and then losing a tooth

Where does it go?
So fast and so slow?
And so, you notice you got old

Where does it go?
Like how spring melts the snow?
One day, you're living on your own

I can remember believing
That my parents were gods
And yes, there's comfort in people
But fear in a faith that's lost

Oh, what a wonderful feeling
To own and operate your life
Oh, what a terrible burden
All my decisions are mine

Where does it go?
So fast and so slow?
And so, you notice you got old

Where does it go?
Like how spring melts the snow?
One day, you're living on your own
