Growing Pains Lyrics
Remember when we were young
We got so good at being bad
We would shake responsibilities so carefully
And would protect everything we had
We'd spend our days outside
Waiting for the sun to set so our stars could shine
And we would dream of better times
Maybe I was holding on too tight
Every day
I get lost in a world that's in the way
I'm who I am, the wannabe
'Cause when I think about memories
I never seem to see the missing piece
And now I'm starting to believe
That it was always me
I try not to panic
But panic is all I can do when I feel confused
I'm drowning fast in all of the sad excuses I have used
'Cause all the lost balloons
That you and I let go too soon
Were much too ?? to see
Every day
I get lost in a world that's in the way
I'm who I am, the wannabe
'Cause when I think about memories
I never seem to see the missing piece
And now I'm starting to believe
That it was always me
Was it always me?
It's something so risky
Something I'll never feel
Maybe some day in time I will understand
But the tables are turning
And both ends are burning
I think it's okay 'cause the burning is all I am
Have I been standing in the dark too long to tell?
Have I been living with my eyes shut tight?
Or just hiding far too ?
Every day
I get lost in a world that's in the way
I'm who I am, the wannabe
'Cause when I think about memories
I never seem to see the missing piece
And now I'm starting to believe
That it was always me
I know it was always me
We got so good at being bad
We would shake responsibilities so carefully
And would protect everything we had
Waiting for the sun to set so our stars could shine
And we would dream of better times
I get lost in a world that's in the way
I'm who I am, the wannabe
'Cause when I think about memories
I never seem to see the missing piece
And now I'm starting to believe
That it was always me
But panic is all I can do when I feel confused
I'm drowning fast in all of the sad excuses I have used
That you and I let go too soon
Were much too ?? to see
I get lost in a world that's in the way
I'm who I am, the wannabe
'Cause when I think about memories
I never seem to see the missing piece
And now I'm starting to believe
That it was always me
Was it always me?
Something I'll never feel
Maybe some day in time I will understand
But the tables are turning
And both ends are burning
I think it's okay 'cause the burning is all I am
Have I been living with my eyes shut tight?
Or just hiding far too ?
I get lost in a world that's in the way
I'm who I am, the wannabe
'Cause when I think about memories
I never seem to see the missing piece
And now I'm starting to believe
That it was always me
I know it was always me
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
in the chorus, i hear: "Every day I get lost in a world that’s in the way OF who I am AND wanna be"
and: "'Cause all the lost balloons That you and I let go too soon Were much too HIGH to see"
and after the guitar solo, "real" instead of "risky"? maybe? im not sure, though. and after that part, before the last chorus, "or just hiding far too WELL?"
hope that helps!
All the corrections above are correct.
Also "I'm drowning fast in all of the sad excuses I have used" It's i abused. :)
Remember when we were young We got so good at being bad We would shake responsibility so carefully And would protect everything we had
We spent our days outside Waiting for the sun to set so our stars could shine And we would dream of better times
Maybe I was holding on too tight
(chorus) Every day, I get lost in a world that’s in the way Of who I am & wanna be Cause when I think of all the memories, I never seem to see the missing piece And now I’m starting to believe That it was always me
I try not to panic But panic is all I can do when I feel confused I’m drowning fast in all of those sad excuses I abused
Cause all the lost balloons that you and I let go too soon Were much too high to see
(chorus) Every day, I get lost in a world that’s in the way Of who I am & wanna be Cause when I think of all the memories, I never seem to see the missing piece And now I’m starting to believe That it was always me
(bridge) It’s something so real Something I’ll never feel Maybe something in time I will understand But the tables are turning And both ends are burning I think it’s okay cause the burning is all I have
Have I been standing in the dark too long to tell If I’ve been living with my eyes shut tight or just hiding far too well
(chorus) Every day, I get lost in a world that’s in the way Of who I am & wanna be Cause when I think of all the memories, I never seem to see the missing piece And now I’m starting to believe That it was always me
I know it was always me
