I guess I'm scared of everything changing,
Being left standing there while everything's fading,
I know I'm scared of opening this door alone.
And Mary goes down, she goes down to the water,
Where she can find something other than the worries,
That bother and break down her mind every night.
And my sister drives around at the break of the morning,
As she watches the dawn I think shes searching for something,
She wishes that she could resist the calling to go back home.
And down on the street the guys are all getting older,
They grow out of those dreams they'd gotten used to holding onto,
Some of them leave but some of them stay here,
And try to get their head around all these changes going down.
I try to get my head around all these changes going down.
Everyone is down on the beach, infected with summer,
We should stay here all night, drink this it'll keep you warm.
She said 'I dont believe I've ever slept outside beneath the stars on the hood of your car.'
As it gets really late, she lets loose all her secrets,
And reveals all her dreams and the things she is scared of,
I talk about breaking free, losing the dust of this town.
Im trying to get my head around all these changes going down...
Mary is down on the shore tonight, she's smiling at me,
And she dances while the waves crash around her feet.
And there are camp fires and warm beers spread all over the beach,
And we're feeling kinda lonely but we're feeling kinda free.
She said you know I feel that this is all gonna change,
Because it's at that stage where it all re-arranges,
And I said 'No I want to stay here, I want to stand so still'
But I can feel it tonight...
It's growing up time.
