"Watch 'Em Grow" lyrics

The best mistake
That I could've ever made
Led me to these baby blues
Staring back at me
Why would I
Change the wrongs into rights
Or spend the rest of my life
Missing everything?

When I can watch 'em grow
Like weeds through the concrete cracks
And the flowers by the railroad tracks
Wild, in a row
For all I know
It might be me that'll hold em back
'Cause I'm worried it'll go too fast
When it happens slow
Not sure if I should hold em or let em go
Or get out of the way and watch 'em grow

It's funny how
If I kept that stupid job
It would've only stopped
What was meant to be
I could try
To climb my way into a suit and tie
Sell all my time
'Till there's nothing left of me

Or I can watch 'em grow
Like weeds through the concrete cracks
And the flowers by the railroad tracks
Wild, in a row
For all I know
It might be me that'll hold em back
'Cause I'm worried it'll go too fast
When it happens slow
Not sure if I should hold em or let em go
Or get out of the way and watch 'em grow

(Watch 'em grow)
(Watch 'em grow)
(Watch 'em grow)

Now I can watch 'em grow
Like weeds through the concrete cracks
And the flowers by the railroad tracks
Wild, in a row
For all I know
It might be me that'll hold em back
'Cause I'm worried it'll go too fast
When it happens slow
Not sure if I should hold em or let em go
Or get out of the way and watch 'em grow

(Watch 'em grow)
(Watch 'em grow)
(Watch 'em grow)
