Lyrics
Come here sweetheart
I’ll give you a head start
Don’t be afraid of the dark
It’s half your life
The moon is an onion
It’ll make you cry some
The sun is a lemon
It stings your eyes
Don’t we grow up?
Don’t we grow up?
We get older
We get wise
Memories leave us
We find Jesus
On our knees
If we get time.
You were a heartbreak
Somebody’s earthquake
Talking ‘bout a fair shake
You never had
You’ve been through seasons
You’ve got your reasons
You wrestled those demons
that drove you mad.
Don’t we grow up?
Don’t we grow up?
Everything gets harder
To understand
Memories linger
And make us strangers
We look for saviors
Where we can.
Don’t we grow up?
Don’t we grow up?
We lose everything
We love
Sometimes words go
Straight to marrow
Only God knows
where we wind up.
