GROWING PAINS

Think I'm gonna move away
Only dreaming, almost fooled myself
Thought about it anyway
Part of a cycle I know well

You know, I don't believe in premonitions
But I've had this feeling twice before
You know, I don't buy into superstitions
But some things you can't ignore

These are just growing
These are just growing pains
But you won't know it
Til you don't feel the same

Me and Ella in LA
I was something gravity don't touch
Felt like it was yesterday
I don't know if I miss it all that much

I can't pretend like I don't need attention
But that's not what I'm crying for
I don't remember why I need permission
To reap my own rewards

These are just growing
These are just growing pains
But you won't know it
Til you don't feel the same

It may be some time
Til it feels alright
But nobody is Atlas all the time

Can't afford the hell to pay
Had to keep a ledger for myself
Perpetually in disarray
I started catching up on healing I withheld
It's not so bad, a little ache in the chest
I've been with less, for a longer time
I drag my shadow by the scrap of the neck
All the rest I leave behind

These are just growing (growing)
These are just growing pains (growing pains)
But you won't know it
Til you don't feel the same

(And these are just growing pains)
It may be some time
Til it feels alright (these are just growing pains)
But nobody is Atlas all the time
