(I know, it sucks
And I could not imagine writing a song
About the shit that I have been through
So fuckin' big ups to you first of all...)
Well I was sixteen the first time you kissed me
And I didn't want it to end
We were young back then
I didn't know the difference between a boy and a man
We all want somebody to hold
Someone we can call our own
One look and you stole my soul
But she said when we grow up
And we don't need grown ups
We'll make a life for us by ourself
And the memories so dumb
But baby I told ya, I'm gonna keep 'em all to myself
And then I put one more ring right down your hand
It wasn't too special but it's all we had
You was my girl and I was your man
Then I wrote your name right down in sand
The words I love you right next to it
Well I looked down girl there you is
But then the years go by and I'm on my own
Still thinking 'bout you when I'm all alone
Look how we've grown
But she said when we grow up
And we don't need grown ups
We'll make a life for us by ourself
And the memories so dumb
But baby I told ya, I'm gonna keep 'em all to myself
But now that we've grown up
It's hard to be a grown up
And watch you have a life with someone else
The memories show up
It's hard for me to close 'em
But I know that I'm hurting myself
But she said when we grow up
And we don't need grown ups
We'll make a life for us by ourself
And the memories so dumb
But baby I told ya, I'm gonna keep 'em all to myself
