"How Are You Now" lyrics

Oh
Yeah

There are still times I'm sure I shouldn't have left
The guilt is quick and quiet, settles into an emptiness
I'll always think of you in the Pacific Northwest
And how I shoulda loved you harder than I did back then

Growing up means getting out means
Moving on means moving out
And I miss you still
And my favorite house
Growing up means getting out means
Moving on means moving out
I'm just checking in
And how are you now?

I've been missing things that I couldn't have missed before
And I was certain but I'm not so certain anymore
All of those stones I skipped kept sinking
Can't touch the bottom of the deep end
Been tripping over cracks that never made me trip before
If I always end up alone then what was it all for?
Lost you but didn't find me
I miss you, I love you, I'm sorry

Growing up means getting out means
Moving on means moving out
And I miss you still
And my favorite house
Growing up means getting out means
Moving on means moving out
I'm just checking in (I'm just checking in)
And how are you now?

The volcano is always active
Took a drive just to find out what happened
And my friends couldn't tell I was different
I was just a kid, just a kid then
Still skating and trying to go pro
Staying forever at Denny's after our shows
I was fishing and sitting in the tree house
How are you now, how are you now?

Growing up means getting out means
Moving on means moving out
And I miss my friends
And my hometown
Growing up means getting out means
Moving on means moving out
I'm just checking in
And how are you now?
