Who really wants to grow up? 

Lyrics:

He's come off the rails for the first time in his life
As the sun set sails across the sky
The moment's come to hide the shame and fly
No time to stop and question why

As you show them how you fly, they'll think that night's become day
Guided by such blinding lights, gazing at you they say

Now here he goes again, our shining hero, watch him take wing
Yeah it must feel so good to not feel a thing
Even the sun can't stop him, they'll never die those beasts will take him far
And when he's done we'll see him in the stars

*HUH*

He's come off the rails, now it's time to pay
There must've been another way
He looked so fine as we watched him fall
The sun came down upon us all

Take it in the mess you made, did you think you had to grow up?
Charging forward blindly with no way to stop

So there he goes again, our shining hero, his fate becomes clear
The poplar trees will weep with amber tears
Even the sun couldn't stop him, and so his sorrow was felt like it was ours
But we'll still see him up there, in the stars

*YEAH*
