Sitting beside you in school,
While we'd paint I'd make you laugh
Mine was never very good,
Yours looked exactly like the photograph
Looks like I'm growing, I'm growing up beside you

I don't always get the way you feel,
But now I've learned to live with that
It's like I'm a part of something real
I was hittin' the bottle, now I've broken the seal
Looks like I'm growing, I'm growing up beside you

And the sun sets the scene,
While the rain misses me
And all the time I'll be growing, growing up beside you

Oh, The sun sets the scene,
While the rain misses me
And all the time I'll be growing, growing up beside you
