Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We used to quote that racing movie
Every line
Every joke
Every fight
Now it’s playing on a dusty TV
But it hits like someone else’s life
Back then the grass stained all our knees
We flew for hours on that old trampoline
Now it creaks out in the backyard
Like it’s tired of remembering
[Chorus]
Growing up feels like
Losing all the easy fun
Trampolines are lame now
Cars just isn’t what it was
Christmas lights still flicker
But the living room is gone
Everyone got older
Packed their bags and moved along
And it hurts to be the kid here
When the world has carried on
[Verse 2]
You text a photo of your doorway
Tiny tree on some apartment floor
I hang my stocking in my hallway
But the crowd doesn’t come through the door
Grandma’s chair is in the corner
Holding dust
Not a knitted scarf
We pass the phone around the table
Say “I miss you” through the dark
[Chorus]
Growing up feels like
Losing all the easy fun
Trampolines are lame now
Cars just isn’t what it was
Christmas lights still flicker
But the living room is gone
Everyone got older
Packed their bags and moved along
And it hurts to be the kid here
When the world has carried on
[Bridge]
But I’ll save a spot beside me
On this sagging
Frozen lawn
For every ghost of how it was
For every cousin who moved on
If it’s different
It can still be ours
In a smaller
Stranger way
We can learn to love the quiet
Of these grown-up holiday days
[Chorus]
Growing up feels like
Letting go of how it was
Trampolines are lame now
But we still look up at the stars
Christmas lights keep shining
On the people who are gone
And somehow that soft hurting
Means the love is holding strong
Yeah it hurts to be here changing
But it means we’re moving on

Style
Warm indie pop ballad with male vocals, gentle palm-muted electric guitar and soft piano, brushed drums that bloom into a driving mid-tempo groove in the chorus. Subtle bass and glockenspiel glints for bittersweet nostalgia. Choruses open with stacked harmonies and a lifted drum pattern; bridge strips to vocal and piano before a final, fuller chorus with wordless “oh”s and a ringing guitar outro., sad, uplifting
