Grow (Stories)

Don't put your eyes down

You're not to blame

I know there are stories

You can't explain

[But if I should find you black and blue

And aching from crying, I'll wait with you

Grow, grow

Oh, so you know it all

Then it's gone

Grow, grow

You know I'm here holding on

Tying up your loose ends

And your drifting esteem

Grow, grow

If you never try, you'll never know

I've left you a white page by the door

There's no need to ask me what it's for

I wait by the front step for your return

And hear every story of what you've learned

Oh, so you know it all

Then it's gone

Grow, grow

You know I'm here holding on

Tying up your loose ends

And your drifting esteem

Grow, grow

If you never try, you'll never know

Grow, grow

Grow, grow

Throw your arms and grow your heart out

Throw your arms and grow your heart out

Throw your arms and grow your heart out

Grow, grow

Grow, grow

And don't put your eyes down

You're not to blame

I know there are stories

You can't explain
