I remember once I was ridin' on a bus
with a girl that liked me and U2
We were on a trip to a place I forget
but it must have been a good place to go to
She was turnin' me on with a certain song
sayin' how she'd make love to Bono
and it was like that thing where you ain't done nothin'
but you really really really want to
And she laughed so hard and I felt so good
even though I thought it might be wrong
And I wanted that ride to last us for all time
but you know it didn't really last that long
Now I'm all grown up, got a place of my own
Babe, I'm all grown up and I'm all alone
And I don't wanna miss a beat of bittersweet love song
We were out in the yard standin' next to my car
and it was time for us to say our goodnights
But instead we talked for a couple of hours
until my dad turned out the porchlight
The moon and the stars fell down that night
And even though it scared us it wasn't wrong
I wanted that kiss to last us for all time
But you know it didn't really last that long
Now I'm all grown up, got a place of my own
Babe, I'm all grown up and I'm all alone
And I don't wanna miss a beat of bittersweet love song
I remember when you were my best friend
You knew things that nobody could know
We were singin' it out at the coffeehouse
and we both felt totally low
We took it back to your room, we were singin' in tune
but decided just to take it slow
In a stupid world you do the best you can
Your regrets are best left for the radio
But she sang so true and I felt so bad
And our sadness put together made our hearts grow strong
I wanted that song to last us for all time
But you know it didn't really last that long
Now I'm all grown up, got a place of my own
I'm all grown up and I'm all alone
And I don't wanna miss a beat of bittersweet love song
Listen to that boy play the guitar
Play it, Justin
Now I'm lyin' in bed, I can hear myself breathe
And the water running through the heat pipes
I hear the scratch of the pen to my ear from the bed
Because I'm lying down writing by flashlight
You know bands get better & bands get worse
Some bands fade like the Cult or the Church
Bands go broke, and bands go wrong
And you know they never really even last all that long
Now I'm all grown up, got a place of my own
I'm all grown up and I'm all alone
And I don't wanna miss a beat of bittersweet love song
