Make my way through the motions
I try to ignore it
But home's looking farther
The closer I get
Don't know why
I can't see the end
Is it over yet
A short leash
And a short fuse don't match
They tell me it ain't that bad
Now don't you overreact
So I just hold my breath
Don't know why
I can't see the sun
When young should be fun fun
And I guess the bad
Can get better
Gotta be wrong
Before it's right
Every happy phrase
Engraved in my mind
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth
In every word I write
But still the growing pains
growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
Eh eh hey yeah yeah yeah
And I can't hide
'cause growing
pains are keeping me up at night
Eh eh hey yeah yeah yeah
And I can't hide
'cause growing
pains are keeping me up at night
Try to mend
what's left of my
content incomprehension
As I take on the stress
of the mess that I've made
Don't know if I've even
care for grown
If it's just alone yeah
And I guess the bad
Can get better
Gotta be wrong
Before it's right
Every happy phrase
Engraved in my mind
And I've always
been a go-getter
There's truth
In every word I write
But still the growing pains
growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
Eh eh hey yeah yeah yeah
And I can't hide
'cause growing pains
are keeping me up at night
Eh eh hey yeah yeah yeah
And I can't hide
'cause growing pains
are keeping me up at night
Starting to look like
Ms Know-it-all
Can't take her own advice
Can't find pieces
of peace of mind I cry
More than I'd like to admit
but I can't lie to myself to anyone
'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun
Can't run back to
my youth the way I want to
The days my brother
was quicker to fool
AM radio not much to do
Used monsters as an excuse
To lie awake
Now the monsters
are the ones that I have to face
No band-aids
for the growing pains
Eh eh hey yeah yeah yeah
No band-aids
for the growing pains
