about

With a title for the masses, this punk/SKA track bounces along playfully, reminding us all to stay young at heart and enjoy time with friends when we can. Sometimes, adult responsibilities can wait!

lyrics

I've been thinking 'bout
All the stuff that matters
Do you remember what it used to be like
To not give a damn
About what they think
And just carry on and have a good time

Aging is required, but growing up is optional

Hanging with my best friends
Every single weekend
It really doesn't have to end, yeah
Growing up is optional
Hanging with my best friends
Every single weekend
It really doesn't have to end, yeah
Growing up is optional

Release the notion that
You really have to be
A straight edge if you're gonna be seen
Just get your heavy foot
Right off the brakes
Live a little, it'll be okay

Aging is required, but growing up is optional

Hanging with my best friends
Every single weekend
It really doesn't have to end, yeah
Growing up is optional
Hanging with my best friends
Every single weekend
It really doesn't have to end, yeah
Growing up is optional

PAY YOUR BILLS! (It's already done)
GO TO WORK! (I have the day off!)
ACT YOUR AGE! (I wanna have fun!)
JUST GROW UP! (Growing up is optional)

Hanging with my best friends
Every single weekend
It really doesn't have to end, yeah
Growing up is optional
Hanging with my best friends
Every single weekend
It really doesn't have to end, yeah
Growing up is optional

It's optional
Growing up is optional
It's optional
Growing up is optional
Growing up is optional
