Mmm
Thanks, old friends
Mmm
Keep reminding me
Frank's old friends
Always seem to come through
Frank will, too
So, old friends
Now it's time to start growing up
Taking charge
Seeing things as they are
Facing facts
Not escaping them
Still with dreams
Just reshaping them
Growing up
Charley is a hothead
Charley won't budge
Charley is a friend
Charley is a screamer
Charley won't bend
Charley's in your corner
Mary is a dreamer
Mary's a friend
Mary is a nudge
Mary is a purist
Charley's a judge
Charley is a dropout
Everything's a "copout"
Why is it old friends
Don't want old friends to change?
Every road has a turning
That's the way you keep learning
ย
So, old friends
Don't you see we can have it all
Moving on
Getting out of the past?
Solving dreams
Not just trusting them
Taking dreams
Readjusting them
Growing up
Growing up
Trying things
Being flexible
Bending with the road
Adding dreams
When the others don't last
Growing up
Understanding that growing never ends
Like old dreamsโ
Some old dreamsโ
Like old friends
ย
Mmm, mmm

Life is knowing what you want, darling
That's the only thing to know
As I told you moons ago, darling
Nothing wrong with wanting
Nothing wrong with wanting me, darling
Also nothing wrong with not
Though it's only fair that
You should be aware that
I want you a lot
ย
Growing up
Means admitting
The things you want the most
Can't pursue
Every possible line
Letting go
Making choices
Ignoring all
Other voices
Including mine
You're divine
You decide on what you want, darling
Not on what you think you should
Not on what you want to want, darling
Not from force of habit
Once it's clearly understood, darling
Better go and grab it
Things can slip away for good, darling
What is it you reallyโ?
Hm?
