I′m not prepared for the future

So many things that I just don't know

I cut my hair, bought a new shirtNew pair of shoes, and it′s time to go

I finally found an apartment

Signed a lease on a car this month

I can't go back to the start now, time doesn't slow down

I′m on my own

Guess my childhood is over

Now I′m taking down the posters

And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster

That′s my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

I′m not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

Guess my childhood is over

Now I′m taking down my posters

And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October

That′s my closest thing to closure

I can′t stop this roller coaster

I'm not ready to get older, I′m not ready to get older

Never thought I'd be 20

And 30 don′t seem so far away

I know I gotta make a little money, then maybe find somebody

To call my own

Mmm, I'm not ready, but I

Can′t go back in time

I know it's all out of my control, now I know

Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down my posters

And I′m putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster

That′s my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

I′m not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older

Guess my childhood is over

Now I′m taking down my posters

And I'm telling all my friends we′ll get together next October

That's my closest thing to closure

I can't stop this roller coaster

I′m not ready to get older, I′m not ready to get older

Guess my childhood is over

One day I'll be buying posters for my kids

Just like my parents did for me, it′s never over

They'll grow up and soon enough

They′ll wish that time would just move slower

I'm not ready to get older, I′m not ready to get older

Guess my childhood is over

Now I'm taking down the posters

And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster

That′s my closest thing to closure

I can′t stop this roller coaster

I'm not ready to get older, I′m not ready to get older

I'm not prepared for the future

So many things that I just don′t know

I cut my hair, bought a new shirt

New pair of shoes, and it's time to go
