verse we used to stay up late and then sleep in counting down the hours like we were watching the wind but we wished that we were older so we could feel like men oh i don t know where time goes when it changes my skin or my life chorus twenty one put more than twenty circles around the sun another day this giant world has spun and i don t wanna get older verse 2 we used to try and say that we knew it all exaggerate the climbs and lie about the falls not the way to live at all but it feels good to be invincible oh and time seems so slow when you wish it would go fast it never lasts chorus twenty one put more than twenty circles around the sun i swear my spirit it was born to run but i don t wanna get older bridge oh what i d give to be this age to feel this way for life and not have fears or come up short of promises the way i feel i feel so young my heart is so alive and my youth and health are both my accomplices but then again i wish for the mind of a man that s about to die chorus twenty one put more than twenty circles around the sun won t stop learning til my days are done but i don t wanna get older i don t wanna get older
