Growing Up
Embracing the Journey: Sammy Hagar's Ode to Growing Up
Lyrics
Oh, yeah!
Expression of enthusiasm or agreement.
See all the kids on the side street.
Observation of kids on a side street.
Hangin' 'round in their cars.
They are spending time around their cars, possibly creating memories.
They're out makin' memories, yeah!
Emphasis on the youthful activity of making memories.
See the girls in their summer clothes.
Observation of girls in summer clothes and boys appearing tough.
All the boys all rough and tough.
Boys with a rough and tough demeanor.
They just can't get enough, oh no.
Expressing their insatiable desire for more.
They're just growing up.
Highlighting the theme of growing up.
And they can't get around it.
Emphasizing the inevitability of growing up.
They're just growing up - face the fact.
Acceptance of the fact that they are growing up.
I'm so glad that I found out I must be growing up.
Gratitude for realizing the process of maturing.
I never thought I'd want to settle down.
Surprise at the desire to settle down.
But her love just gets to me.
Positive feelings about romantic love.
Kinda feels like the real thing, yeah.
Comparing the love experience to something real.
I'm feeling guilty about my friends.
Feeling guilty about changing and evolving in relationships.
Oh, they all say how I've been changing.
Others noticing and commenting on the speaker's changes.
I'm just bored 'cause this old town's got me down, oh, yea.
Expressing boredom with the current town.
I'm just growing up.
Reiteration of the theme of growing up.
Uh! I can't get around it, no.
Acknowledging the difficulty in avoiding the process.
Growing up - face the fact
Acceptance of growing up as a reality.
I'm so glad that I found out I must be growing up.
Gratitude for realizing personal growth.
Feels like I'm winding down, or breaking loose.
Sensation of winding down or breaking free.
I've put together a new plan, I'm stickin' to it.
Introduction of a new plan and determination to stick to it.
I'm not tired, I'm just bored to come. Oh man!
Not feeling tired but bored with routine.
I'm just growing up.
Reiteration of the theme of growing up.
No I can't get around it.
Emphasizing the difficulty in avoiding the growth process.
Guess I'm growing up, face the fact.
Acknowledgment and acceptance of growing up.
I'm so glad that I found out, I must be... I'm just
Reiteration of the gratitude for realizing personal growth.
Growing up, yeah.
Reiteration of the theme of growing up.
We just can't get around it, oh no.
Highlighting the inevitability of growing up.
Growing up, face the fact
Acceptance of growing up as a reality.
Yeah, I'm glad that I found out I must ge g-g-g
Reiteration of gratitude for realizing personal growth.
Growing up, yeah!
Final reiteration of the theme of growing up.
No, you can't get around it, no.
Emphasizing the difficulty in avoiding the growth process.
Growing up, face the fact.
Acknowledgment and acceptance of growing up.
I'm so glad that I found out I must be growing up.
Final expression of gratitude for realizing personal growth.
