Don´t put that thing too close to my head
It took this long just to get ahead, he says
He knows for sure, but that he can´t decide
Between his decency and this matter of pride
So he´s growing up on time, he´s growing up in the middle...

And it burns, and it burns, the sun burns
Oh, now I can really feel it. How could you ever stand it?

We´ve got the same ideas, we got the same old fears;
Different colors sometimes, but hey, who cares?
It´s just years that shears our lives apart, like the
Time you tried to teach your nephew to fart, he couldn´t do it. PUSH!
So he´s growing up on time, I´m growing up in the middle...

Oh, now I can really feel it. How could you ever stand it?
I´m not the kind of person who would say it, if it wasn´t the truth
And then you go and tell a friend that her heart´s on fire
And it has no meaning.
Now and only now I know the difference when you tell me
There is no difference.
So she´s growing up on time, she´s growing up in the middle...

Now´s the time to evaluate between the love you give
And the love that you take.
´It´s not a matter of opinion, when it comes down to it,
It´s just a difference of opinion, that much I can take.´
So I´m growing up on time, I´m growing up in the middle...

And it burns
