I Am Serious And Don't Call Me Shirley

Tonight we leave the past behind 
and all the while we scream out loud 
we're still getting by 

And they try to tell you otherwise 
we're just a bunch of broken kids 
ignoring the storm outside (OUTSIDE!) 

I'm sick of growing up 
The world is on my shoulders 
Everything seems to be difficult 
now that I'm getting older 
I'm sick of growing up 
The world is on my shoulders 
Everything seems to be difficult 
now that I'm getting older 

And I reach out and cry 
I've been to the depths and back 
I just want one more try (so we tell them) 

So tonight we take to the skies (we take to the skies) 
take a breath and show the world 
that we're still alive (WE'RE STILL ALIVE!) 

I'm sick of growing up 
The world is on my shoulders 
Everything seems to be difficult 
now that I'm getting older 
I'm sick of growing up 
The world is on my shoulders 
Everything seems to be difficult 
now that I'm getting older 

I spent the last night thinking of this 
the town I came from and the people I'm going to miss 
but in my travels I won't forget you 
instead I'll say "hi" to my new home and I'll start brand new
