this is growing up (stripped)

They don't tell you how to become a man
With stars in your eyes, nothing in your hands
Heart's been broken 240 times
A couple from the lovers
The rest of the faults were mine

So don't turn your back
Careful what you say, it's hard to take it back
Unlearn what you learned when you were three feet high
Mother told you why and now it makes you cry

This is growing up
And I found myself again
Coming back to play pretend
It's so easy to be young
But I'm changing, this is growing up
This is growing up
Yeah I'm changing, this is growing up

Back to the dream we once had
Back to the childhood romance
When you dance all night, when my feet didn't move
But the walls, they knew you'd be mine

Yeah, I know it's sad
Time is moving on and you can't take it back
Unlearn what you learned when you were three hours late
And your dad had to wait 'cause you slept through half of the day

This is growing up
And I found myself again
Coming back to play pretend
It's so easy to be young
Yeah I'm changing, this is growing up
This is growing up
Yeah I'm changing, this is growing up

This is growing up
Yeah I'm changing, this is growing up
