How It Goes The clock is ticking and I don't know where I'm going I've tried to hide it but lately it's been showing All of my friends, they seem to not be as important 'Cause I grew up and moved away and got a boyfriend I think about it when I'm laying on the carpet I stretch my arms out and pretend that I'm exhausted I know I need to get a job and an apartment I'm just stuck And that's just how it goes I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow Just want you to know that I'm on my own now But I'm finding my way home Sometimes I catch myself just drowning in the memories I think about what life was like when I was sixteen Driving around with all my friends and no worries I fell asleep and then woke up and now I'm married My days are long but I've been happier than ever Hard to believe that everyday I'm getting better Started to feel the weight lifted off of my shoulders Time moves fast But that's just how it goes I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow Just want you to know that I'm on my own now But I'm finding my way home That's just how it goes I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow Just want you to know that I'm on my own now But I'm finding my way home
