Grow Up
Embracing Eternal Youth: Franklin Jonas' Musical Reflection on Resisting Adulthood
Lyrics
I don't wanna die young, but I'll have to give it a try
I have reservations about dying young, but I'm willing to give it a try.
I was standing on the rooftop lookin' down, wondering why
I was on a rooftop, contemplating life and questioning its purpose.
Would I smash like the dishes that you threw in my front yard?
Wondering if I would react violently like breaking dishes thrown in anger.
Or would I fly away singing like the cherub on my right arm?
Considering the alternative of gracefully escaping, symbolized by a singing cherub on my arm.
