Growing Up Takes Time (Demo) Lyrics

Why do I feel nervous?

Like you don't think I'm worth it

No matter what I tell myself?

It's been a hard week

Matter of fact it's been a really hard year

There's no escaping it

Tonight I'm going out to clear my mind

And you'll catch me under

Streetlights on a quiet night

Ten stars and a satellite

Nobody, just you and I

That's when I start to feel alright

I was born with fight-or-flight

Just a kid who never realized

What it takes to finally feel alive

Growing up takes time

I'm sorry 'bout all the times I chose the easy way out

I just wanted a friend

I just wanted to feel something in the end

I'm so sorry

If there's one thing I know it's that

You were there the whole time

But sometimes I get cloudy in my mind

Streetlights on a quiet night

Ten stars and a satellite

Nobody, just you and I

That's when I start to feel alright

I was born with fight-or-flight

Just a kid who never realized

What it takes to finally feel alive

Growing up takes time

Don't worry

Things take time

You gotta lot more years to feel alright

You gotta look up

Don't press rewind

'Cause the hardest part is out of sight

You're a broken kid

And that's okay

He wouldn't want it any other way

What you're feeling

He felt too

So he intercepted space and time for you

Streetlights on a quiet night

(He intercepted space and time for you)

Ten stars and a satellite

(He intercepted space and time for you)

I was born with fight-or-flight

(He intercepted space and time for you)

And I was just a kid who never realized

(He intercepted space and time for you)
