Verse 1
Sleepless nights with dreams that fade,
Chasing shadows in the light of day.
Backyard secrets, and a skateboard ride,
Thinking I’d conquer the world outside.
Pre-Chorus
But the clock keeps ticking, and I can’t hold tight,
To the days of laughter under starry skies.
We were reckless, we were wild,
Fighting the feeling of feeling so small.
Chorus
These growing pains, they won’t go away,
Wishing I could freeze it, just one more day.
But life is calling, and I can’t stay,
Running from the past, but it’s harder this way.
Verse 2
Old friends fading like the summer sun,
Caught in memories of when we were young.
Now it's bills and dreams, feeling out of place,
Stepping forward, but I miss that space.
Pre-Chorus
We were heroes in our own small town,
Now it’s harder to keep my feet on the ground.
We had our moments, we sang our songs,
But the world keeps spinning, and it’s moving on.
Chorus
These growing pains, they won’t go away,
Wishing I could freeze it, just one more day.
But life is calling, and I can’t stay,
Running from the past, but it’s harder this way.
Bridge
Chasing dreams down broken roads,
Learning life’s lessons in the stories we wrote.
I’ll carry the echoes of laughter and tears,
Through all the struggles and the years.
Chorus
These growing pains, they won’t go away,
Wishing I could freeze it, just one more day.
But life is calling, and I can’t stay,
Running from the past, but it’s harder this way.
Outro
So here I stand, with my heart on my sleeve,
Finding my way, through all I believe.
Growing up hurts, but I’ll find my way,
Embrace the chaos, and live for today.
