Growing Pains

Lay down, press my ear to your shoulder

Take in the terrible territory of getting older

Weighed down, thoughts that cross feel like boulders

The perks of waiting now is that the years are getting shorter

With how time slips away like your long hair through my fingers

Moments pass like speeding cars, but the hurt therefrom still lingers

Growing pains soar through my veins, but never reach my pen

So I guess we'll see what happens, assuming that I see you again

Under his arm. Oh my god, how cliche

But I guess it couldn't happen any other way

Soon enough these tired legs will decay

Just as hourglass sandcastles all wear away

With how time slips away like your long hair through my fingers

Moments pass like speeding cars, but the hurt therefrom still lingers

Growing pains soar through my veins, but never reach my pen

So I guess we'll see what happens, assuming that I see you again

To say that I love you, and I really mean it this time

Though you're probably sick and tired of always hearing that line

These growing pains will go away in time

But all these words are meaningless so fuck it
