The tree house that was built for us   Was a palace flat and roofless in the tallest tree our   dad could find  And we would play inside that fort  Neighborhood kids in their summer shorts  Letting our imaginations take over our minds  Please don’t grow up, is that a reasonable request  I guess being the legal drinking age will be the   ultimate test  But please don’t grow up at least not without me  But if you do, I’m coming too  To keep you company    Stuffed animals got dust in their eyes from sitting on   your shelf in a pile  I got a cloth to dust them off and renew their site  They told me everything they’d seen  The images of you and me  Wading in the ocean with the water to our knees  Well your shoes are so big  And my feet seem so tiny  You’re as tall as the clouds with their silver lining  I’m only as tall as the hills in our town so I can look   up to you    Please don’t grow up at least not without me  But if you do, I’m coming too  To keep you company    Some say our childhoods are packaged up like shipping   goods in boxes in the basement  And your room is now vacant  You made a home in San Diego  But I’m in good old San Francisco  We’re repping the blue and yellow state  But the golden gate city just ain’t as golden without   you    So please don’t grow up at least not without me  But if you do, I’m coming too  To keep you company    these lyrics are submitted by When It Hits Records
