I try to grow up
Fear losing who I am
Boxing in each thought
Question if I can
Make a move to go on
And be a man
Nearly six feet under ready for the next change
Stay planted in the ground, oh I don't wanna leave
Came out of my cave, thought I figured it out
I gotta grow up
But I still can't grow up
You want me to stay around?
Are you gonna keep me around?
Hear that whistle in your ear?
All them memories turn into fear
That your best days are fading out
Forced smiles and conversations
Tear apart your old notations
Affirm when you're insecure
You're the best, you're the best, you're the best, you're the best
I gotta grow up
But I still can't grow up
You want me to stay around?
Are you gonna keep me around?
I wanna try, oh I wanna be
Brother, son, friend, man of your dreams
Maybe spread out a bit too thinly
Ignorance ain't always bliss
Dwelling on more than what I missed
Loneliness each time hurts less
Did that make me grow?
I gotta grow up
I hope I can grow up
Is it cool if I stay around?
Are you gonna keep me around?
I've got to grow up
I think I can grow up
I hope you still keep me around
