Verse 1 I’ve lost so many things So many things I’ve forgotten The years have passed me by My sorrow just doesn’t soften Pre-Chorus 1 But once there was a time When we indulged in wishful thinking We spent our evenings laughing, We spent our nights just singing Chorus Oh man, growing up Is not what I thought it would be Oh man, growing up Has taken so much from me Oh man, growing up Verse 2 Now I’m all alone With only stories to remember I’m told my life has just begun But it already feels like November Pre-Chorus 2 Now that time has gone And I know that there was meaning In singing out of tune In sitting together and dreaming Chorus Oh man, growing up Is not what I thought it would be Oh man, growing up Has taken so much from me Oh man, growing up Bridge Now that time has gone I will find my home Now that time has gone I will find my home Outro Gone, gone, gone, gone away Gone, gone, gone, gone away Gone, gone, gone, gone away Gone, gone, gone, gone away
