Growing Pains

Dark and Dusty is the weary mind
Of the traveled soul who's left behind
Never thought she'd ever see the day
Twenty two's feelin' three too late
Scales have been tippin' in her wake
Feels more like fate, less of a mistake, yeah
She's standin' on this front porch step today
The war inside still waging away

Fairytales and crystal moonlight
She's still believin' in the stars at night, but
Not in the way she could be change that's found
If only she could see how far she's bound, yeah

Time feels the enemy yet here she stands
Time slipping in and out each other's hands

Fairytales and crystal moonlight
She's still believin' in the stars at night, but
Not in the way she could be change that's found
If only she could see how far she's bound, 'cause

She's the one in the sun that you always need
Never dreamed, in this time, she could find the belief
In her bones, in her soul, in her heart, and mind
She never gave it a try, always questioning why

Lookin' 'round, on the ground, checkin' where she's at
We're passin' time on a dime, yet she's holdin' back
Growing pains, they'll change with the season
Can't go fightin' fair when you're fightin' with demons

Been through the darkness
In search of empty crowns
An empty harvest
Could never keep her down

'Cause she's the one in the sun that you always need
Never dreamed, in this time, she could find the belief
In her bones, in her soul, in her heart, and mind
She never gave it a try, always questioning why

There's more here than you'll ever see
'Cause right here's where you're meant to be
Don't let the pages pass you by
"Cause all this pain only strengthens you in time
