Lyrics
Serious
copyright 2004 Adam Gershon/ASCAP
Well our friends had all left town
And your boss just give you the runaround
So you said to me let's go
And I said I'd leave tomorrow if you say so
So we put the car in drive, and we dodged the trucks on Highway 5
Saw the ocean from 101, and we planned our new life in the sun, yeah
Well it started out so clear
I was happy whenever you were near
Didn't matter what you said
You were the only thing running round my head
But in time the gloves came off, and the landings weren't always soft
Well it's time we both grow up, and it's time we acted serious but ...
(chorus)
I don't want to
I don't want to be so
I don't want to
I don't want to be so ... serious
Well there ain't no turning back, with a smile now the anchor's away
It's just experience we lack, all the doors fly open today
Tonight it's me and you
And tomorrow's coming way too soon
We could worry bout something new
And all the little things that we should do but ...
Chorus
