growing pains

[Verse 1]

Said he's gotta go to feel like a tourist in his old home

This place don’t look like it did when I was a kid, oh

Trading obligatory sickly sweet pleasantries

"What's it like overseas?" said a girl to a past soulmate

[Chorus]

Oh, the growing pains

They're keeping me up again

They’re keeping me up again

[Verse 2]

The kids from my block, they're all now getting jobs

New Year came all too fast, and what have I done?

But tell me, does it ever stop feeling like catching up?

Said we'd have a house with a slide and a dog, and then we moved away

[Chorus]

Oh, the growing pains

They're keeping me up again

They're keeping me up again

Oh, the growing pains

They're keeping me up again

[Verse 3]

But I've gotta go to play off to strangers in a new show

The city's calling, promise I’m not running, I’ll see you when I do

[Chorus]

Oh, the growing pains

They're keeping me up again

They’re keeping me up again

Oh, the growing pains

Oh, the growing pains

They're keeping me up again
