Growing Pains

I was frozen in the dark

Feeling walls to find the mark

Couldn’t find a reason to

Crawl my way on back to you

Everybody walks that line

Silent patterns justified

Everything you never wanted

Just to see what could be mine

Growing pains’ the nicest the way

To say you regret former days

Spending years to break your heart—

Is it worth it once you start?

I’m feeling something that is right

Green eye contact, morning light

I’m laughing at the former me

Knowing I needed it to see

Shot right in the middle

Finally feel a little

What a wound to finally feel alright

Now looking back, I’m glad I took the bite.

It’s what you always wanted

Changing faces like an actor

Different roles to fit your goal

But on set, yeah people notice

You stick out like a mole

It’s ok to hide away babe

I’ve been there twice before

Surrounded by such patient love

You know you’ll see once more

Shot right in the middle

Finally feel a little

What a wound to finally feel alright

Now looking back I’m glad I took the bite.

It’s what you always wanted

Shot right in the middle

Finally I feel a little
