lyrics

VERSE 1
I thought I craved a good life
A life lived in control
Where everything was perfect all the time
But it just got exhausting
Until a wise man said to me
You better grow up, before you grow old

CHORUS
You can carpet the world if you want to
You can carpet the world but I ask you
You can carpet the world but why would you
When you can put on some shoes
You can put on some shoes
Dancing shoes

VERSE 2
I could rage in anger, a fireball in my mind
I’m just not sure where it gets me every time
There’ll always be those stones, a pinching at my feet
I better grow up before I grow old

CHORUS
