Exploring themes of maturity and self-discovery, "Grow Up" by Paramore delves into the journey of leaving behind adolescence and the people who no longer align with one's growth. The lyrics reflect a decisive break from past constraints—symbolized by fake friends and old grievances—to embrace a future marked by personal authenticity and independence. The song emphasizes the necessity of sometimes having to move on from relationships that hinder growth, suggesting that true development often requires tough decisions and self-reliance. Through its energetic melody and assertive lyrics, it captures the essence of growing up as an empowering process of forging one’s path and living out one's dreams.
Grow Up
Lyrics
I told 'em all where to stick it
I left town with a dime to my name
I said, I'm done with all of my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game
Got my band and a light that won't go out
Been burning since the day I was born
So I cry just a little then I'll dry my eyes
'Cause I'm not a little girl no more
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Stood in line for so long just to picket
Something I will never understand
Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world?
Won't you just admit you don't care?
And lady, I don't want your pity
So don't feel sad for me
I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
Maybe we're both just living out our dream
And some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
We get along for the most part
Me and reality, the light and the dark
We live alone, two different worlds
Me in a fantasy, you in your memories
But we get along
We get along
(For the most part)
We get along
(Yeah, for the most part)
We get along
(For the most part)
We get along
We get along
We get along
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up, never grow old)
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up, never grow old)
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
