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

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

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey 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 should even care for grown

If it's just alone

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

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey yeah

Hey hey hey 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 bandaids for the growing pains
