[Verse 1]
Used to argue on the phone till the sun came up
Now the screen stay dark, and my room stay shut
All these hoodies that you left still smell like trust
But the dust on the frame says we growing up
Friends say, "Yo, you’ll forget in time"
But I still see your name in every street sign
Birthday cake candles, making the same wish
"Can we go back?" on repeat like a scratched disc
[Chorus]
I’m just a boy getting old in your silence
Learning how to sleep in this quiet
Counting every year that you’re missing
Every little laugh, every kitchen kiss I’m still living
I’m just a boy getting old in this bed
Talking to the ghosts in my head
If growing up means growing out of us
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna grow up (no)
[Verse 2]
New year, same hoodie, different city bus
Catch a glimpse of your haircut, my chest locks up
Scrolling through your pictures like it’s homework
Studying the girl that my grown self hurt
Mom asked why I’m up till four
Writing your initials in my notebook corners
Said I’m fine, but my eyes told on me
I’m aging in the mirror, but stuck at seventeen
[Chorus]
I’m just a boy getting old in your silence
Learning how to sleep in this quiet
Counting every year that you’re missing
Every little laugh, every kitchen kiss I’m still living
I’m just a boy getting old in this bed
Talking to the ghosts in my head
If growing up means growing out of us
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna grow up (no)
[Bridge]
Maybe you forgot my birthday
Maybe that’s the sign that I should
But every time the candles fade
I’m still there with you in that neighborhood (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m just a boy getting old in your silence
Learning how to sleep in this quiet
Counting every year that you’re missing
Every little laugh, every kitchen kiss I’m still living
I’m just a boy getting old in this bed
Talking to the ghosts in my head
If growing up means growing out of us
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna grow up (no)
