[Verse 1]
Who ever knew there'd come a day
We'd finally reach seventeen?
One year away from our dreams of being grown
Getting out on our own
Who ever knew that we would miss
Being forced to do the dishes?
Getting grounded on the weekends?
Oh, couldn't wait to get grown, get out on our own

[Chorus]
And if I could go back, I'd slow that down
Our feet would spend more time on the trampoline and less on the ground
I wouldn't be rushing to grow up, I would take nothing for granted
Now I know what they meant when they say the present is a present

[Verse 2]
Who would've knew that we'd be here
Reminiscing over our favorite years?
Telling stories, fighting back the tears
Oh, to be grown, to be grown, fully out on our own
Who would've knew that life would give us
Wide arrangements of pictures of friends no longer with us?
Praying to God that the gift will forgive, oh
We are not grown, we're just out on our own
[Chorus]
And if I could go back, I'd slow that day
I would spend more time running from my friends and less chasing pain
I wouldn't be rushing to grow up, I would take nothing for granted
Now I know what they meant when they say the present is a present
