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 the sun burned backs
We never had a chance, I remember that
And no matter what we do, we 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 we got so much to prove
'Cause it's time to move on and I start to let go
But the wonderwall comes on the radio
I flash back to the night in your parents' yard
Where 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

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 somewhow
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
