I've been staring at the ceiling
Counting all the ways I'm changing
Every mirror feels different now
Like I lost what I was chasing
People say it's just the way it goes
Growing up and letting go
But I don't feel ready yet
No, I'm not even close
If time keeps moving on without me
Where do I belong?
I don't wanna grow up tonight
I just wanna stay in this light
Hold on to the way it feels
Before it disappears inside
I don't wanna say goodbye
To the girl I left behind
If I let her fade away
Will I lose myself in time?
All these expectations
Feel too heavy on my chest
Everybody's moving forward
I'm just trying to catch my breath
I used to dream in colors
Now it's turning into gray
Tell me why the simple things
Always seem to slip away
If I let the moment pass me
Will I be okay?
I don't wanna grow up tonight
I just wanna stay in this light
Hold on to the way it feels
Before it disappears inside
I don't wanna say goodbye
To the girl I left behind
If I let her fade away
Will I lose myself in time?
Maybe I'm just scared of changing
Maybe I'm not ready yet
If I close my eyes, I'm still the same
But I wake up someone else
I don't wanna grow up tonight
Let me stay here just one more time
If this moment slips away
Will I ever feel alright?
