You knocked up your whole life
In the wee small hours of the night
I know things might seem hopeless now
Yes, I know things might seem hopeless now

But there's joy to be found in this life
I know there's joy to be found
But if you find it, hold on tight

Will you miss those stuck-up bores?
Like a driver you'll be opening your own doors
I know things might seem hopeless now
Yes, I know things might seem hopeless now

But there's joy to be found in this life
I know there's joy to be found
But if you find it, hold on tight

But there's joy to be found in this life
I know there's joy to be found
But if you find it, hold on tight

Oh, I hope that I'm right
I hope that I'm right
Yes, I hope that I'm right

The boy would never grow up
I don't think about you that much
And I don't think about anybody else

I just know I gotta get out
Of this rut very soon
These streets don't inspire me
The way it used to do

I don't know why I try
The boy always caught the breaks
No, I don't know why I try
The boy caught all the breaks

The boy would never grow up
Some friends peeking their teeth
And some friends take their time
Waiting for their moment to shine

You showed your face at the school reunion
Your paperback under your arm
You said it couldn't do no harm

I don't know why I try
The boy always caught the breaks
No, I don't know why I try
The boy caught all the breaks

Oh, you say you don't believe in love
'Cause you've always made your own
Because you've always made your own
Because you've always made your own

The boy would never grow up
He just simply said it was never for me
The boy would never grow up
