I wanna grow up // Hirosawa Tadashi

I wanna grow up // Tadashi Hirosawa
Lyrics & Music: Tadashi Hirosawa
Translation by Donny


Staring at an insoluble problem,
Wondering whether the day will come
When we'll figure it out
We put on a poker face
Pretending we get it when we haven't a clue

I wanna grow up... I wanna grow up...

Growing up isn't about getting strong
It's about acknowledging your weakness

I thought the types who abandoned their dreams
Along the way lacked conviction
But the truth is they had something
More precious than themselves

I wanna grow up... I wanna grow up...

Growing up isn't about having a dream
It's about giving a dream to someone else, you see

Called out to by ladies of the night
Handed flyers for condos for sale
I guess people around me
See me as a grown-up on some level

But none of it gets through to me
None of it reaches the ideal I held then
I'm just wandering
Where to go?
What to do?
Is this alright?
Should I throw in the towel?
I think I love you after all
Let's give it another try
Something like that

I wanna grow up... I wanna grow up...

Growing up isn't about arriving anywhere
I suppose that's the one thing I feel
I've come to understand
