I Grew Up

Sometimes I don’t know where I’ve been
and don’t remember how it used to be
God almighty gonna strike me down someday
And it won’t matter what I used to know

When the bad things come
They come on on like weather
My eyes adjusting
Like a camera

You start to hear the things you couldn’t hear before
You blink and double check the things you see
I didn’t think I’d be sighing even more
I didn’t think I’d feel like a print-out of something

When the bad things come
They come on like weather
I unbutton another button
While the air gets hotter

I took a blur and I smudged it
Slowed it down to a crawl
Until like air I ignored it
If I grew up that’s how I knew it
