John Hardy - Growing Up Lyrics

Street lights on, first love's a calling me
Across the bridge, from where she's meeting me
These gas work nights, I dream about all day
I know her name, but won't share it anyway
Growing up, in my town
Growing up in my town
Growing up as the night falls down
Growing up, in my town
Friday night; pool, a pint, a cigarette
At seventeen there's still places that we're not served yet
Underaged and over-boozed, confident like megaphones
We're playing grown-ups now, but none of us as yet left home
I rode my bike down Prinny Avenue
French kissing in the dark with you
From a boy to man, as the clock struck ten
Oh, if your boyfriend only knew
Me and Steve, we fell out over Emily
And ten years on there's still places that we cannot be
We left our town, we never said goodbye
Mistakes you make, can last past closing time
