lyrics

No one ever grows up; they just get better at faking it.

When I was a child the people told me to value my youth.
They seemed so dissatisfied with their enlightenment of truth.
Hey take a look at Peter Pan and his Lost Boys
A portrait of what grown-ups think are all of their lost joys

But as a boy I wanted more responsibility
The thought that every body else could look up to me
Now as I’m older I’ve seen the light and I see it so clear
There’s no real gain, no mystic progress, with the changing of the year

No one, no one ever grows up; they just get better at faking it
No one, no one ever grows up; they just get better at faking it

Hey old man, you’ve seen my life and I’ve seen your ways
You say you can measure your depth of wisdom by the length of your days
I’ve been watching how you interact, and the advice you lend
Young or old, there is no difference, there’s no need to pretend

No one, no one ever grows up; they just get better at faking it
No one, no one ever grows up; they just get better at faking it
