[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 3]
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

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