Outside with the light from a lantern
Tripping over the bar where I set my standards
Let it all become
The epitome of a night with good fun
Spending money without a profit
More fingers on my hands than cash in my pockets
The laughter's loud and toxic

Stories of the glories parents in their forties
They have a lot to tell but I'm not listening well
To all the warnings mistakes are rewarding
As far as I can tell

Stories of the glories parents in their forties
They have a lot to tell but I'm not listening well
To all the warnings mistakes are rewarding
As far as I can tell we're growing up young
As far as I can tell we're growing up young

Evenings full of harsh words and banter
Higher than the bar where I set my standards
Not at all withdrawn
The basement again with all the good songs
Your faces, I can hardly look at
Between all of the drinks and smiles and snap backs
I never want to leave
(I never fucking want to leave here)

We're growing up young

Up late no regrets
Feel no shame for sleeping on the floor again
Last call place your bets
I don't think I'm ever coming home again
