GROWING UP IS ____
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Heard you moved out of town on the weekend
Understand, but I'm sad that you’re leaving
Are you up making friends with the ceiling?
Yeah, I know the feeling
I wasn't trying to let you down
I was just working my shit out
I'm sorry I didn’t know how much I led you on
Growin' up is weird, sleep with friends, break a heart
Question everything you thought
Split a pill, smoke a dart
Growin' up is weird, fall in love for a year
And then I disappear, wish that you were here
Growin' up is strange, get too close, push away
Thinking you would do the same
New regrets, new mistakes
Growin' up is strange when the one who's to blame
Is lookin' at the mirror, wish that you were here
Growing up is
Get emotional at two in the morning
It's a habit, know I shouldn’t be callin’
Then you let me in, is that what you wanted?
Is this what we wanted?
Now you're back in town, no, I can’t come around
Are we better without the what ifs and doubts
Is this it?
Are we both too far gone to forget
And try again?
Growin' up is weird, sleep with friends, break a heart
Question everything you thought
Split a pill, smoke a dart
Growin' up is weird, fall in love for a year
And then I disappear, wish that you were here
Growing up is strange, get too close, push away
Thinking you would do the same
New regrets, new mistakes
Growin' up is strange when the one who’s to blame
Is lookin' at the mirror, wish that you were here
Growin' up is
Wish that you were here (oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (wish that you were here)
Growin' up is weird, sleep with friends, break a heart
Question everything you thought
Split a pill, smoke a dart
Growin' up is weird, fall in love for a year
And then I disappear, wish that you were here
Growin' up is strange, get too close, push away
Thinking you would do the same
New regrets, new mistakes
Growin' up is strange when the one who's to blame
Is lookin' at the mirror, wish that you were here
Growin' up is weird
Oh, yeah, yeah, hey
Oh, oh, but I'll just disappear
Ooh, ooh, I just disappeared
Wish that you were here
Growing up is
