Is this growing up or just getting older?

Are we growing up or just getting older
Are we learning or just getting bolder
We’ve graduated and moved on in our own way
I just wonder how everyone is doing today

Are we growing up or just getting older
I guess the answer is in the eye of the beholder
Once we were all good friends,
but graduation is where the chapter of all we shared ends

Are we growing up or just getting older
Do we walk on pins and needles, do we need a friendly shoulder
It is so hard to look back on all those memories and not cry
because it was so hard to let go and say goodbye

Are we growing up or just getting older
Is life better for us all now, or for some is it turning colder
That very last night we were all together, I wish I said all those things I meant to say
because most were gone the very next day

Is this growing up or just growing older
Remembering back to those days, now I need a friendly shoulder
