"Weeds In The Grass" lyrics

Girls grow up but their wrists get smaller
And I'm always slow but I run much farther
Oh, there are weeds in the grass
You spin me 'round 'til I'm losing my breath
Tell me why it's so inviting when I'm light in the head
Oh, there are weeds in the grass

I'm so afraid of overgrowing
I cannot contain this love I'm holding
Oh, I can't convince myself of anything
And that's what makes it so damn hard to change

It's built-in like a limb I'm missing
Like the world's off-limits 'til I finish fixing it
There are weeds in the grass
You pick me up, but I'd rather be down
I've never been the kind of kid for feet off the ground
Oh, there are weeds in the grass

I'm so afraid of overgrowing
I cannot contain this love I'm holding
Oh, I can't convince myself of anything
And that's what makes it so damn hard to change

And so the vines climb up the stones
And someone's skin and bones
They're tired on the stairs
And oh, the weeds just look like flowers
And oh, I see now
[?] weaving through my hair

I'm so afraid of overgrowing
I cannot contain this love I'm holding
Oh, I can't convince myself of anything
And that's what makes it so damn hard to change
