Growing Pains

Dutch braids, a dirty face, just passed third grade No teeth, one cut knee, and countless dumb dreams I stained my t-shirts and outgrew my sneakers Two inches taller than the boys in my grade And it's all thanks to growing pains Bright lipgloss and a striped yellow dress I fell in love with a boy named Jess I tried writing him a Valentine's letter But I don't even think he remembers my name And it's all part of growing pains I've made my mistakes And I've been through many heartache It might seem complicated You might just get a bit frustrated But none of it is bearable without those growing pains Dark circles underneath my eyes I'm late for work, oh what a surprise I'm swimming in a bowl that's full of commitments And I trying to be thankful for what I've been given And I've learned that through growing pains When everything in life comes knockin' at your door You think, man I wish I hadn't been born at all and Time is a race going on for miles And you're stuck in an endless cycle of life Going on and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on And all I want is to turn it off On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on All I want is to turn it off I've made my mistakes And I've been through heartache And it might seem complicated You might just get a bit frustrated But none of it is bearable without those growing pains On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on All I want is to turn it off On and on and on and on On and on and on and on On and on and on and on All I want is to turn it off All I want is to turn it off All I want is to turn it off
