Photograph, remembering the summer
It takes me back,
To Southern California

Where the girls would all pass
On the boardwalk and laugh
At our desperate attempts and our sunburned backs
We never had a chance, I remember that
And no matter what we do,
We'll never lose what we had growing up

Won't bring us down
Yeah, growing up,
It won't bring us down,
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down

Graduate, what's a kid to do now?
Get away, yeah-ah
We've got so much to prove
Cause it's time to move on
And I'm stuck to let go,
But then Wonderwall comes on the radio,
I flashback to the night in your parent's yard,
When we drank too much and we talked about god

Growing up, won't bring us down
Growing up, it won't bring us down
We're in this together,
Yeah, we'll make it somehow,
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
Oh-oh-oh

Photograph, oh give me something to remember

Growing up, won't bring us down
Growing up, it won't bring us down
We're in this together,
Yeah, we'll make it somehow,
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down (won't bring us down)
Growing up won't bring us down (won't bring us down)
Growing up won't bring us down
