*(Verse 1)*

They say it’s time to settle down,

Pick a path, pick a role, pick a town.

But I’m still figuring out my name,

Still learning how to play this game.

I’ve got dreams that don’t fit in a box,

And questions they treat like paradox.

I’m not lazy, I’m just real—

I’m not ready to trade how I feel.

*(Pre-Chorus)*

I know the world’s moving fast,

But I’m not built to rush past.

I’m holding on to what I know,

Before I’m forced to let it go.

*(Chorus)*

I don’t wanna grow up,

Not like they say I should.

I’m still chasing moments

That make me feel understood.

I don’t need to have it all planned,

I just wanna take my stand.

I don’t wanna grow up—

Not if it means letting go of who I am.

*(Verse 2)*

They talk like growing up’s a prize,

But I see stress behind their eyes.

Deadlines, bills, and broken sleep,

Trading dreams for things they keep.

I’m not afraid to face the change,

But I won’t rush to rearrange.

I’ll grow when it feels right,

Not just ‘cause it’s black and white.

*(Bridge)*

Let me stay a little wild,

Let me be a little loud.

I’m not lost—I’m just young,

And I’m proud.

*(Final Chorus)*

I don’t wanna grow up,

Not like they say I should.

I’m still chasing moments

That make me feel understood.

I don’t need to have it all planned,

I just wanna take my stand.

I don’t wanna grow up—

Not if it means letting go of who I am.
