[Verse 1]
You're getting on a plane and leaving
I hope you're staying not too far
'Cause all those dreams I had were real ones
But something got in the way
Time, it just couldn't wait

[Chorus]
So, don't grow up too fast
Don't leave me in the past
As long as you never change who you are
I'll know that in your heart you're never far
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]
So caught up in all the used-to-be's
Forgot to look into the now's (Oh-oh-oh)
I'm proud of you I'll say
Though I'm still stuck in childish ways
Those memories that we've made
I know they play in your brain

[Chorus]
Oh, don't grow up too fast
Don't leave me in thе past
As long as you never change who you arе
I'll know that in your heart you're never far
[Bridge]
I guess, I thought
There'd be more time for us to spend
Just like how we used to be
Turning moments to history
But there I go again
Reminiscing far too much
It's time I moved on
Just know my love will stay strong

[Chorus]
Oh, don't grow up too fast
Don't leave me in the past
As long as you never change who you are
I'll know that in your heart
I'll know that in your heart
Oh, don't grow up too fast
Don't leave me in the past

[Outro]
'Cause times will change
But that don't mean you have to
I can't grow up without
No, I can't grow up without you
