29

I remember when I first learned how to ride a bike
Flying up and down the street like I was free
Or playing baseball in the yard with all the fireflies
While the sun had start to set before the trees

When did I forget how to be young again
Staying up until the sunrise tucked me in
Why do I pretend I was a mess back then
Now I'm scared of being who I wanna be

For the first time in my life I feel like I'm grown up
Twentynine and standing almost six foot three
When did I become the person who's afraid to take a chance
Is that what growing up just seems to guarantee
This isn't who the younger me thought he would be

Used to have all kinds of questions I would ask my dad
Like on a roadtrip, are we almost there yet
Why do we grow out of questions think it's better not to ask
Did someone tell us there's no room to take a guess

When did I forget how to be young again
Staying up until the sunrise tucked me in
Why do I pretend I was a mess back then
Now I'm scared of being who I wanna be

For the first time in my life I feel like I'm grown up
Twentynine and standing almost six foot three
When did I become the person who's afraid to take a chance
Is that what growing up just seems to guarantee
This isn't who the younger me thought he would be

Almost thirty years of questions feels like
There should be more answers
There is so much left to figure out
I've learned life is full of lessons
Like learning how to roll with punches
Or that time will never slow down

For the first time I'm okay that I am growing up
Twentynine's another year for me to see
I've done a million things I can't believe
And fallen in love
And it's better than I ever could've dreamed

When did I become the person who's afraid to take a chance
Is that what growing up just seems to guarantee
Still it's better than I ever could've dreamed
