Don't Grow Up (The Happy Sad Song)
What is life and what is age
Let's rewind to them younger days
Out all night on double dates
Some friends for life, but some just changed
Dealt with heartbreak, dealt with pain
We pushed the ones we loved away
But that was part of growing up
And becoming numb like novacaine
With alcohol and wreckless ways
Having fun til night was day
When night would come, rerun the same
Beginning with us on one lane
Just cruisin to the music, we'd crank it to eleven
Too young to think we needed anyone, now we start to question
The pills that we're taking, they may medicate us
But i need a different relief (I need a different relief)
The wind on my face and the radio station is playing just what I need
So we drive all night, 'cause we just don't wanna go home
We're young, dumb, and high, and we just wanna be alone
That's all we craved, a little space
But ten years later, things have changed
The world is such a scary place
Meds, money, and many faces
Having fun is our release
Even if it's temporary, even when our friends are dead and buried
Memories of them we will carry by reliving times when we'd
Drive until our tanks were empty knowing that we're pinching pennies
Panic attacks from needless spending
But I'll spend millions if it helps since we're not kids, and got no one else
Miss mom and dad, and I miss myself
The younger me did not need help
The pills that we're taking, they may medicate us
But i need a different relief (I need a different relief)
The wind on my face and the radio station is playing just what I need
So we drive all night, 'cause we just don't wanna go home
We're young, dumb, and high, and we just wanna be alone
So we drive all night, 'cause we all just wanna go home
We're sad but full of life, and we don't wanna be alone
Drive all night, 'cause we all just wanna go home
We're sad but full of life, and we don't wanna be alone
So we drive all night, 'cause we all just wanna go home
We're sad but full of life, and we don't wanna be alone
We don't wanna be alone
We all just wanna go home
