Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it
But home's looking farther, the closer I get
Don't know why I can't see the end
Is it over yet? Hmm
[Verse 2]
A short leash and a short fuse don't match
They tell me it ain't that bad
Now don't you overreact
So I just hold my breath
Don't know why
I can't see the sun
When young should be fun (Fun)
[Verse 3]
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
[Verse 4]
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
And I can't hide
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
'Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
Hey, ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
And I can't hide
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
'Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[Verse 5]
Growing pains are keeping me up at night
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
[Verse 6]
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension
As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made
Don't know if I even care for grown
If it's just alone, yeah
[Verse 7]
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
But still the growing pains, growing pains
Are keeping me up at night
[Verse 8]
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
And I can't hide
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
'Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
And I can't hide
'Cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[Verse 9]
Growing pains are keeping me up at night
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Hey, hey-ye-ah ye-ah
Growing pains are keeping me up at night
