"Growing Down" lyrics
"Growing Down"
I used to crave a seat at a table that I should've fucking flipped (ooh)
But now I finally feel at ease in the skin I'm living in
Stopped giving a shit about
The people who are a walking contradiction
Who love to tell me who I am when they never try to listen
It took a lot of self reflecting on my second guessing
And coming to terms with my first impressions
Is there a better way to learn a lesson than...
Growing down
Into the roots that I tried to rip away from
Deep in the grounds
Of the hills that I'm willing to die on
Into my body
Into the lyrics
Into the feelings that I wanna keep feeling
After growing up I found
There ain't no ceiling
If I'm growing down
It took time to realize perfection ain't the enemy of good
And falling forwards
Will get me farther than giving up or quitting ever could
So look
Now that I'm firmly
Planted in the dirt
Words don't really hurt
And for what it's worth
I know I might not look like much to you in a baggy t-shirt
But damn, there's a lot of diamonds in the rough of the earth, so
I'm growing down
Into the roots that I tried to rip away from
Deep in the grounds
Of the hills that I'm willing to die on
Into my body
Into the lyrics
Into the feelings that I wanna keep feeling
After growing up I found
There ain't no ceiling
If I'm growing down
I'm going deeper than I've ever gone before
It makes hard things harder to ignore
So if you see me out at the bar
And I don't look like I'm falling apart
It's 'cause I'm growing down
It's 'cause I'm growing down
Into my body
Into the lyrics
Into the feelings that I wanna keep feeling
After growing up I found
There ain't no ceiling
If I'm growing down
If I'm growing down
I'm growing down

You and me
