I was 17 couldn't wait to leave
Next thing I knew I was 23
Wished I could fly home but I had a job to keep
And couldn't afford a seat
10 years flies by fast
It was too late by the time I looked back
So much changed since the last
Time I saw you Mom and Dad
You trust in me to trust my gut
I don't know if I trust me as much
It's hard to come to terms with losing touch
But I made a choice when I was young
Just trying to become someone
I'm not ready for this kind of growing up
This kind of growing up
I still feel 15
But when I go back home time hits me
With changes like the lines on your cheeks
Reminding me of the smiles I ain't seen
Ain't it crazy how
I remember you at my age now
And I'm still trying to figure this thing out
You trust in me to trust my gut
I don't know if I trust me as much
It's hard to come to terms with losing touch
But I made a choice when I was young
Just trying to become someone
I'm not ready for this kind of growing up
This kind of growing up
This kind of growing up
You still look at me the same
Conversations like nothings changed
But then I drive away
And I won't be back here for months
It's harder every time I come
It's still never long enough
But you trust in me to trust my gut
I don't know if I trust me as much
It's hard to come to terms with losing touch
But I made a choice when I was young
Just trying to become someone
I'm not ready for this kind of growing up
This kind of growing up
This kind of growing up
