growing pains
[Verse 1]
Said he's gotta go to feel like a tourist in his old home
This place don’t look like it did when I was a kid, oh
Trading obligatory sickly sweet pleasantries
"What's it like overseas?" said a girl to a past soulmate
[Chorus]
Oh, the growing pains
They're keeping me up again
They’re keeping me up again
[Verse 2]
The kids from my block, they're all now getting jobs
New Year came all too fast, and what have I done?
But tell me, does it ever stop feeling like catching up?
Said we'd have a house with a slide and a dog, and then we moved away
[Chorus]
Oh, the growing pains
They're keeping me up again
They're keeping me up again
Oh, the growing pains
They're keeping me up again
[Verse 3]
But I've gotta go to play off to strangers in a new show
The city's calling, promise I’m not running, I’ll see you when I do
[Chorus]
Oh, the growing pains
They're keeping me up again
They’re keeping me up again
Oh, the growing pains
Oh, the growing pains
They're keeping me up again
