Christmas In My 20s

I remember being a kid
Waking up and wondering
What do I got under the tree?
What's waiting underneath of me?
A new guitar, a video game
A SanDisk mp3 player
512 mega-bytes
Wrapped up underneath those lights

What happened to ya?
What happened to ya, boy?
Why is growing up much harder than I ever thought it'd be?
Now I'm twenty-something and I can't afford a tree

I remember being a child
Grandma's stockings on the wall
Wishing I was six feet tall
So I could reach inside them all
And I remember being young
Candy canes and bubblegum
Driving around the town at night
Comparing all the Christmas lights

What happened to ya?
What happened to ya, boy?
Why is growing up much harder than I ever thought it'd be?
Now I'm twenty-something and I got no gasoline

I remember being a boy
Racing all my Hot Wheel cars
Collecting every baseball card
Lego cities to the stars
Well, I remember being a man
Romanticize this foreign land
Will I someday look back and laugh?
Smile at my better half

What happened to ya?
What happened to ya, boy?
Why is growing up much harder than I ever thought it'd be?
Now I'm twenty-something and it makes no sense to me
What happened to ya?
What happened to ya, boy?
Why is growing up much harder than I ever thought it'd be?
For now I'm twenty-something on a lonesome Christmas Eve

For now I'm twenty-something on a lonely Christmas Eve
