Growing Pains

Lay down, press my ear to your shoulder
Take in the terrible territory of getting older
Weighed down, thoughts that cross feel like boulders
The perks of waiting now is that the years are getting shorter

With how time slips away like your long hair through my fingers
Moments pass like speeding cars, but the hurt therefrom still lingers
Growing pains soar through my veins, but never reach my pen
So I guess we'll see what happens, assuming that I see you again

Under his arm. Oh my god, how cliche
But I guess it couldn't happen any other way
Soon enough these tired legs will decay
Just as hourglass sandcastles all wear away

With how time slips away like your long hair through my fingers
Moments pass like speeding cars, but the hurt therefrom still lingers
Growing pains soar through my veins, but never reach my pen
So I guess we'll see what happens, assuming that I see you again

To say that I love you, and I really mean it this time
Though you're probably sick and tired of always hearing that line
These growing pains will go away in time
But all these words are meaningless so fuck it
