growing down Lyrics

Going on 21

Head stuck at 17

I know how to do it all

Can't bring myself to do a thing

I don't have the time to have time

And the time that I have hasn't always been mine

Though it's my time it was borrowed and used lending

So others could break for a few

Self care forgotten but be not a bother

You're old enough now, just go help your mother

You might be tired, it doesn't matter

Do it for them, put yourself after

Put yourself first is for

When you're alone even though that's when your energy's gone

Going on 21

Head stuck at 17

I know how to do it all

Can't bring myself to do a thing

Going on 21

Head stuck at 17

Getting older, every year round

But it feels like I'm growing down

Grow up, it's over, you're too young, when you're older

Which is it now, am I young and a child or a small adult with school tomorrow?

Can't care for myself even though I know how but won't ask for help

Because my time isn't the only that's borrowed

If they borrow for others you borrow for them

That's what you're here for, just give in, just lend

Soon you'll be alone and your time will be yours

Going on 21

Head stuck at 17

Know how to do it all

Can't bring myself to do a thing

Going on 21

Head stuck at 17

Getting older, every year round

But it feels like I'm growing down

Down, down

Feels like I'm growing down

Down, down

Oh, oh

I'm going on 21

My head's stuck at 17

I know how to do it all

Oh, but I just can't do a thing

Going on 21

Head stuck at 17

Getting older, every year round

But it feels like I'm growing down

Down, down

Feels like I'm growing down

Down, down

Feels like I'm growing
