I like to feel so high
And you feel good feeling low.
I like my colors vivid
And you paint your colors gold.
I like to see the world
And you like your weekends home,
But I've been staying behind
While you refuse to go.

Chorus:
'cause you are such a burden,
But you're the weight off of my shoulder.
'cause even though I'm hurting,
It still feels like it's time I'm growing.
When I thought that we'd grow up
and grow together the same time,
Guess I passed you by at that old "stop" sign.
At that old "stop" sign.

You like to sleep all day
and I like my minutes owed
I like trips to the movies,
you watch tv all night long.
I like to go out dancing
and you go out just to hang.
And I've been right beside you, losing me,
and doing the same.

Chorus:
'cause you are such a burden,
But you're the weight off of my shoulder.
'cause even though I'm hurting,
It still feels like it's time I'm growing.
When I thought that we'd grow up
and grow together the same time,
Guess I passed you by at that old "stop" sign.
At that old "stop" sign.

I looked around and baby you weren't by.
Where did I lose you honey?
I even slowed down, thought you'd fol-low,
But you took your own routes honey.
'cause I've been traveling, traveling, traveling
Only to find out that I'm making this trip alone.
And I've been staying behind
while you refused to go.

Chorus:
'cause you are such a burden,
But you're the weight off of my shoulder.
'cause even though I'm hurting,
It still feels like it's time I'm growing.
When I thought that we'd grow up
and grow together the same time,
Guess I passed you by at that old "stop" sign.
At that old "stop" sign.
