[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm jealous of my mum and dad
'Cause I think they grew together, and we never have
Paul says the things that I write are pretty niche
But who hasn't felt a pain that's tried to split them into pieces? And
If all you wanted from me this time was some peace and quiet
You didn't have to go the country mile
I would have trailed behind
[Chorus]
I say that it's just growing pains
But what I really mean is
I can't reach for you anymore
[Verse 2]
I used to know what you liked in your tea
Your favourite number was three and you hated your dad
He drank when he's sad, which was always
I could've lived in your stories, and I
Couldn't dream that you would be someone I barely know
There's still moments when I reach to call you on my phone
But you won't pick up
[Chorus]
I say that it's just growing pains
But what I really mean is
You don't reach for me anymore
You hate that I've learned to change again
But what I really mean
You cut me down just to grow
[Bridge]
I leave my message at the tone
(I say that it's just growing pains)
But there's nothing [?]
(You hate that I've learned to change again)
All we have is all we know
(I say that it's just growing pains)
But I thought we'd have more time, mm
[Outro]
You say that it's just growing pains
But what I really feel is
You've never grown
