Gerascophobia

[Verse] As we gather in the hallways, for the final bell I'm feeling kinda scared, like I'm under a spell Everyone's excited, but I'm feeling blue 'Cause growing up is something I don't wanna do [Pre-Chorus] Can we hit pause, on this life's race? I don't wanna leave this familiar place College is looming, and it's all too fast I wanna make these high school moments last [Chorus] As we say goodbye, to the halls we knew I'm not ready to face, what's ahead in view Can we rewind time, just for a bit? I don't wanna grow up, not ready for it [Verse] Late nights No sleep Just playing around I don't wanna grow up I don't wanna be found Responsibility knocking at my door But I'm not ready I ain't prepared for sure Life's like a rollercoaster Turning up and down But right now I just wanna stay in this small town No deadlines No pressure Just feeling so free I'm scared of the future What's it gonna be? [Verse 2] Friends talking 'bout college Planning their careers But I'm stuck in this moment Trapped in my own fears Growing up seems scary Like stepping into the unknown Can't we all just stay young Forever in our own zone? [Pre-Chorus] Can we hit pause, on this life's race? I don't wanna leave this familiar place College is looming, and it's all too fast I wanna make these high school moments last [Chorus] As we say goodbye, to the halls we knew I'm not ready to face, what's ahead in view Can we rewind time, just for a bit? I don't wanna grow up, not ready for it [Verse] Prom night's approaching, and I'm feeling scared Dancing in the gym, but my mind's elsewhere Everybody's talking 'bout their big plans But all I wanna do is hold onto these hands Caps and gowns, diplomas in hand But I'm not ready for this grown-up plan The future's calling, but I'm not prepared I wanna stay in here, where nobody's scared I wanna stay in here, where nobody's scared [Pre-Chorus] Can we hit pause, on this life's race? I don't wanna leave this familiar place College is looming, and it's all too fast I wanna make these high school moments last [Chorus] As we say goodbye, to the halls we knew I'm not ready to face, what's ahead in view Can we rewind time, just for a bit? I don't wanna grow up, not ready for it [Verse] But growing up is coming, whether I like it or not I'll hold onto these memories, as I face what I've got Can we rewind time, just for a bit? I don't wanna grow up, not ready for it [Sad Outro]
