[Verse 1]
Skipped stone days on a dead-end road
Hand-me-down jeans and a nicotine coat
We were sixteen
Swearing we were grown
Burning through nights like they were our own
[Chorus]
We were growing like weeds in the neighbor’s yard
Pushing through cracks in the broken tar
Didn’t slow down
Didn’t look back once
Growing up too fast on a sugar rush
Life going too fast
We were hanging on glass
Taking every risk like it couldn’t cut deep
We were growing like weeds
We were growing like weeds (hey)
[Verse 2]
Backseat truth in a parking lot
Red plastic cups and a busted watch
Time stood still till the sirens came
We laughed it off
But it marked our names
[Chorus]
We were growing like weeds in the neighbor’s yard
Pushing through cracks in the broken tar
Didn’t slow down
Didn’t look back once
Growing up too fast on a sugar rush
Life going too fast
We were hanging on glass
Taking every risk like it couldn’t cut deep
We were growing like weeds
We were growing like weeds
[Bridge]
All the missed calls
All the slammed doors
All the “I’m fine”s we were bleeding for
Never checked the map
Just pressed the gas
Didn’t know a good thing till it passed (oh)
[Chorus]
We were growing like weeds in the neighbor’s yard
Pushing through cracks in the broken tar
Didn’t slow down
Didn’t look back once
Growing up too fast on a sugar rush
Life going too fast
Yeah
It all ran past
Taking too many chances on too little sleep
We were growing like weeds
Now the roots go deep
But I still feel that speed
