I don’t want to grow up But I still want to grow I want to be that kid With such potential years ago I don’t want to grow old And lose my best excuse For not yet having realized The promise of my youth I don’t want to find out That this is all of me That if I clear away the silt There’s nothing left to see I don’t want to stand out But I don’t want to fade Away from possibility Irrelevant, afraid I don’t want to keep not wanting Hiding from it all I want to want to reach for something Unfafraid to fall
