Growing Up Quotes

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

through the nightmare.
— Nightmare?
— The nightmare that separates children from adults.

And it'll happen once again:
I'll turn to a friend,
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan.
But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own.
Well I guess this is growing up...

I think time's running out to do something bizarre.
