Growing Up 02:14
Last minute plans With my friends Working hard a means to and end Leaving minutes to contend Responsibility Came crashing down on me It's here Something I never wanted to feel Looking my best wherever I go A little stressed cause I want no-one to know I don't know what I'm doing here And I'll climb to the roof and I'll shout Every fear that I have so the world will be forced to hear me out And I'll scream at the top of my lungs About this dream that I've got where the world is here just so we can have fun Staying in bed not getting dressed My favourite form of silent protest The greatest way to spend the day Responsibility I've gotten good at dodging it Now I'm doing what I want with my life

I'm a little pathetic And a lot insecure I take what I need And lock myself behind my bedroom door Oh yeah I watch the rain trickle down the window And I listen to my old vinyl It scratches and jumps but I like it It has flaws and I guess that makes it just kinda like me Is it just me or is this room breathing The tales are mostly happy unless they involve me and you These oil lamps are dying But that's okay cause in this darkness they are blinding Seeing spots and writing names It's a shame it's so cold out here The stars look down on me tonight I'm a hollow empty shell but at least I'm me You're on your way to graduating And I wish that we were still dating Cause I'm here and I'm still waiting on tables And for you to call me back Everyone is asking me why You're now dating that other guy They thought we were serious And for a second there so did I But I still laugh at your dumb jokes And when I think about that time that we got drunk at karaoke I still smile to myself I made a fool of myself but you didn't mind It's been three months since we said goodbye Then I ran into you At my friends sisters 18th birthday And I listened to you talk about your new boyfriend 3 feet away and I couldn't stay It's New Year's Day and it's 35 fucking degrees outside Why are you being so damn cold to me You're on your way to graduating And I wish that we were still dating Cause I'm here and I'm still waiting on tables And for you to call me back (Repeat this a bunch of times)

Closing time is cleaning time And also when we all start drinking To distract ourselves from our boring lives With fake anticipation Closing time is cleaning time And the backstage is lit up tonight And I don't think I know enough words to tell you what or how I'm feeling Something clicks inside my brain So I turn around and leave through the back door And leave everybody waiting Nobody's saying That you shouldn't stay But everyone's thinking it Cause no-one really likes you anymore But we've known you far too long to bring it up to your face Nobody's saying That you shouldn't stay But everyone's thinking it Cause no-one really likes you anymore But we've been down this road before and it's just too hard to leave I asked your friends what they thought of me And how I handled everything And they all thought I was in the right And that you were crazy scribbling black lines So now let's turn this clock back in time To days when we got along fine It seems so long ago that You were one of my best friends (But now I really hate being seen in public with you) Nobody's saying That you shouldn't stay But everyone's thinking it Cause no-one really likes you anymore But we've known you far too long to bring it up to your face Nobody's saying That you shouldn't stay But everyone's thinking it Cause no-one really likes you anymore But we've been down this road before and it's just too hard to leave Nobody's saying That you shouldn't stay But everyone's thinking it Cause no-one really likes you anymore But we've known you far too long to bring it up to your face Nobody's saying That you shouldn't stay But everyone's thinking it Cause no-one really likes you anymore But we've been down this road before and we can't wait for you to leave

When I saw you walk through the door It was quite a surprise But the feeling was pleasant and it wasn't invasive It actually felt kind of nice You don't look the same anymore But nothing has changed at the same time The watch you're wearing is the one I bought you I can't believe it's not in the trash With everything else we shared The memories and my shirt that you took About a month before you left And 2 months before the last time we spoke Now it's been a year and it's becoming obvious That you never left my mind If you go back to school I'll get a tattoo And we'll make each other better In 100 years We'll be both be dead That's why none of this matters I think I kissed you last night But I still woke up alone We said we wouldn't do this anymore What were we thinking we weren't I can't believe Your stuff still lines my bedroom floor You left your things at my place And now I can't seem to get a hold of you And much less a single stable thought On how to avoid my impending heartbreak Or the nightmares that become more frequent with time It's a heavy-hearted last ditch morning When we have to repeat ourselves for the 100th time If you go back to school I'll get a tattoo And we'll make each other better In 100 years We'll be both be dead That's why none of this matters If you move away I'll beg you to stay And we'll drift apart in heartbreak I never said I stopped loving you You just assumed I have a hard time believing That paintings not a portrait of us The only difference is those people have emotions in their eyes And I’ve been dead inside for months now And it seems now That we’re moving forwards Instead of backwards like all our friends predicted we would And I can’t believe it’s been this long Since we hung out as just friends Sitting talking over coffee Even though you don’t like the taste of it Or better yet the bitter taste of realisation That dawned upon me When you told me that you moved on If you go back to school I'll get a tattoo And we'll make each other better In 100 years We'll be both be dead That's why none of this matters If you move away I'll beg you to stay And we'll drift apart in heartbreak I never said I stopped loving you You just assumed If you go back to school I'll get a tattoo And we'll make each other better In 100 years We'll be both be dead That's why If you go back to school I'll get a tattoo And we'll make each other better In 100 years We'll be both be dead That's why none of this matters If you move away I'll beg you to stay And we'll drift apart in heartbreak I never said I stopped loving you You just assumed

I remember the feel of the snow in between our hands I remember walking you home when we could barely stand We met amongst the crowd of my favourite band And now stuck in my head forever is everything we planned I drove you home when you were too drunk to drive Now you do the same for me most Thursday nights The letter you wrote me is still pinned to my wall and I read it last week and I bawled like a baby That's right We sat on the steps in the garden per your request You proceeded to scream at me despite my protest I wish I hadn't yelled back and you left in the cold That dark evening in May is a night I will never forget Walking in circles cause you don't think out of the box It might kill me to put someone else first for once Please leave my head
