Growing Up [2023 Broadway Cast Recording]

Thanks, old friends Keep reminding me Frank's old friends Always seem to come through Frank will, too So, old friends Now it's time to start growing up Taking charge Seeing things as they are Facing facts Not escaping them Still with dreams Just reshaping them Growing up Charley is a hothead Charley won't budge Charley is a friend Charley is a screamer Charley won't bend Charley's in your corner Mary is a dreamer Mary's a friend Mary is a nudge Mary is a purist Charley's a judge Charley is a dropout Everything's a "copout" Why is it old friends Don't want old friends to change? Every road has a turning That's the way you keep learning So, old friends Don't you see we can have it all Moving on Getting out of the past? Solving dreams Not just trusting them Taking dreams Readjusting them Growing up Growing up Trying things Being flexible Bending with the road Adding dreams When the others don't last Growing up Understanding that growing never ends Like old dreams Some old dreams Like old friends Life is knowing what you want, darling That's the only thing to know As I told you moons ago, darling Nothing wrong with wanting Nothing wrong with wanting me, darling Also nothing wrong with not Though it's only fair that You should be aware that I want you a lot Growing up Means admitting The things you want the most Can't pursue Every possible line Folding tents Making choices Ignoring all Other voices Including mine You're divine You decide on what you want, darling Not on what you think you should Not on what you want to want, darling Not from force of habit Once it's clearly understood, darling Better go and grab it Things can slip away for good, darling What is it you reallyhmm?
