everything wants to be bigger
than it first set out to become
the day wants to be a whole week now
and the moon wants to become the sun
your dad wants to be your new best friend
your dealer just wants to hangout
your pants want to lead your legs forward
your hands want to speak for your mouth
the children just want to grow up
the children just want to grow up
the children just want to grow up
your neighbor wants to buy the whole block
your boyfriend wants to be your muse
your uncle thinks he should be canonized
your doctor wants to cure the blues
the children just want to grow up
the children just want to grow up
the children just want to grow up
your sheets want to be your winter coat
your windows all want to be mirrors
that show you your scars and your wrinkles
then whisper all of your worst fears
your bike wants to be a big rocket
the news wants to be a parade
with colors and dancers and comets
that follows you throughout your days
the children just want to grow up
the children just want to grow up
im not ready to grow up
