Lyrics
0:00I'm not prepared for the future
0:03So many things that I just don't know
0:05I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes
0:09And it's time to go, I finally found an apartment
0:14Signed a lease on a car this month
0:17I can't go back to the start now, time doesn't slow down
0:21I'm on my own
0:23Guess my childhood is over
0:24Now I'm taking down the posters
0:25And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
0:28That's my closest thing to closure
0:29I can't stop this roller coaster
0:31I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older
0:34Guess my childhood is over
0:35Now I'm taking down my posters
0:37And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October
0:39That's my closest thing to closure
0:41I can't stop this roller coaster
0:42I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older
0:46Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
0:57Never thought I'd be twenty
0:59And thirty don't seem so far away
1:02I know I gotta make a little money then maybe find somebody
1:07To call my own
1:08Mmm, I'm not ready but I can't go back in time
1:14I know it's all out of my control now I know
1:19Guess my childhood is over
1:21Now I'm taking down the posters
1:22And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
1:25That's my closest thing to closure
1:26I can't stop this roller coaster
1:27I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older
1:30Guess my childhood is over
1:32Now I'm taking down my posters
1:33And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October
1:36That's my closest thing to closure
1:38I can't stop this roller coaster
1:39I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older
1:42Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
1:53Guess my childhood is over
1:55One day I’ll be buying posters
1:56For my kids just like my parents did for me, it’s never over
1:59They’ll grow up and soon enough they’ll wish that time would just move slower
2:02I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older
2:06Guess my childhood is over
2:07Now I'm taking down the posters
2:09And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster
2:12That's my closest thing to closure
2:13I can't stop this roller coaster
2:14I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older
2:18Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra
2:29I'm not prepared for the future
2:32So many things that I just don't know
2:35I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes
2:38And it's time to go
I'm not prepared for the future So many things that I just don't know I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes And it's time to go, I finally found an apartment Signed a lease on a car this month I can't go back to the start now, time doesn't slow down I'm on my own Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down the posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra Never thought I'd be twenty And thirty don't seem so far away I know I gotta make a little money then maybe find somebody To call my own Mmm, I'm not ready but I can't go back in time I know it's all out of my control now I know Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down the posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra Guess my childhood is over One day I’ll be buying posters For my kids just like my parents did for me, it’s never over They’ll grow up and soon enough they’ll wish that time would just move slower I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down the posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Mmm, ba-ra-ra-ra-ra I'm not prepared for the future So many things that I just don't know I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes And it's time to go
