Lyrics

Written by brandi carlile

I watch you grow away from me in photographs, and memories like spies
The salt betrays my eyes again
I've started losing sleep and gaining weight, and wishing I was ten again
And I could be your friend again..

Chorus
But these days we go to waste like wine, that turns to turpentine
Till it's six am and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line but I'm warning you
We're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play and there's no one allowed in
Then just when we believe we could be great, reality it permeates
And conquers from within again

Chorus
These days we go to waste like wine that turns to turpentine
Till it's six am and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line but I'm warning you
We're growing up...we're growing up
