Buy a modest house
Raise a couple kids
Make the same mistakes
That our parents did
Never felt so lost
Tell me where is found
Thoughts of giving in
Thoughts of settling down
Side effects include (ahhh)
Irregular moods, getting bitter, getting cold, feeling impossibly old
Side effects include a jaded attitude
I can say I’ve had enough
Of the side effects of growing up
These growing pains, won’t go away
Hurts too much
I can’t lie They really suck
The side effects Of growing up
I can say I’ve had enough of the Side Effects of growing up…
From the cool end of his cigarette
Watch him breathe life in, and exhale regret
The corner man, he’s all of us
With our hardened hearts & our heavy guts
Takes another drag from his cigarette
Thinks a little more on the side effects…
Bought a modest house
Raised a couple kids
Made the same mistake
That his parents did
Never felt so lost
Tell me where is found
Feels like he gave in…
…when he settled down
