Grow Up / Not Out

Living, loving, laughing
Wondering, thinking, asking
Where and why and how
Who and what and when
When will I start
Being, doing, knowing
Seeing, learning, growing
Up and out of it
Through and around all this

When I was young, I swore to be brave
I swore that'd I'd stay and I'd never change my ways
And I lived life based on childhood dreams
And wild theories
Of what I would be in time, had I kept pushing through

And I will try my best not to get angry and upset
Over the little things that pull at me and make me such a mess
And if I took it out on you, just know I'm sorry and regret
Everything I do is based upon my current mood
And that's a problem
I'm selfish

I need to get a grip on what's important
And those I love the most, they deserve to hear it
From my own two lips, no I can't ignore it
It's time for me to grow up

And I'm curious about this path that they want me to take
'Cause I swear it's gonna kick my ass
And take my money out the bank
Yeah, I think I'm doing fine
Hell, I think I'm doing great
But still, everything I do is based upon my current mood
And that's a problem
Add it on my list
