Make my way through the motions
I try to ignore it
But home's looking farther
The closer I get
Don't know why I can't see the end
Is it over yet?
A short leash and a short fuse don't match
They tell me it ain't that bad
Now don't you overreact
So I just hold my breath
Don't know why I can't see the sun
When young should be fun
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
Every happy friend
Raised and braved in my mind
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
We're still the growing pains
Growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
There's growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
There's growing pains

They're keeping me up at night
Try to mend what's left of my content and comprehension
As I take on the stress of a mess that I made
Don't know if I even care for growing
If it's just a loan
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
Every happy friend's engraved in my mind
I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
We're still the growing pains
Growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
There's growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
There's growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
And I'm starting to look like Miss Snow
But I can't take her own advice
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind
I cry more than I want to admit
But I can't lie to myself, to anyone
This phone in it isn't any fun
Can't run back to my youthful way
I want to, the days my brother was quicker
The full AM radio, not much to do
Use monsters as an excuse to lie awake
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
Every happy phrase in and bathed in my mind
I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
We're still the growing pains, growing pains
That keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
These growing pains are keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
These growing pains are keeping me up at night
And I can't hide
