Elephant Union - Now That Were Grown Lyrics

She wakes up slowly and finds she doesn't want to open her eyes
But someones got to feed the cat
A simple message from her phone
I miss you, when are you visiting home
Her sheets hold her back

And there were times when nothing bothered us
And we just played our little games and shouted with no shame
And it got me thinking
Now that were grown
Are we supposed to be as fearless as the adults that we had known?

He wakes up slowly and finds he doesn't want to open his eyes
But someones got to write the songs
It brings a tear to his eye
A lonely text with a sigh
When are you coming home?

Oh, and there were times when nothing bothered us
And we just played our little games and shouted with no shame and it got me thinking
Now that were grown
Are we supposed to be as fearless as the adults that we had known?

And though were often all alone my heart and bones
To this day
Yearn to say
I love you.
