I remember the beams in the backyard
About yay high, just down the street on 72nd
Shouldn't have let me
Stay up so late and watch those R-rated movies
Cause now I think I'm afraid of the dark
But that's okay, cause I think about the day
And now every time one comes on, I feel a little bit brave
How'd I go and make myself into a grown up
I sure remember saying I don't wanna
Wait
Can I really say I made myself a grown up
If some nights I'm still sleeping with the light on
Can I really say I made myself a grown up
I could probably turn it off but I don't wanna
My younger days
Will fade away
But as I age
I see your face
Some things do change
Some stay the same
Thats why I do what I wanna
At night I sleep with the light on
I remember the glow in the dark stars,
The nights in the top bunk and box fans in the window
Counting from ten so,
Ready or not here I come, on the run, never done til we played out our hearts
But what can I say, cause I think about the day
And now every time I feel lost, I end up finding my way
How'd I go and make myself into a grown up
I sure remember saying I don't wanna
Wait,
Can I really say I made myself a grown up
If some nights I'm still sleeping with the light on
Can I really say I made myself a grown up
I could probably turn it off but I don't wanna
My younger days
Will fade away
But as I age
I see your face
Some things do change
Some stay the same
Thats why I do what I wanna
At night I sleep with the light on
Yeah I know, how to find
Where it lies, deep inside
There's a light, all the time
In my mind
I know
Yeah I know
I know
My younger days
Will fade away
But as I age
I see your face
Some things do change
Some stay the same
Thats why I do what I wanna
At night I sleep with the light on
