Growing Pains (Demo) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not playing games on your computer
Backyard baseball
I like to tell my friends that we are brothers
Who play alone

Now I'm stressed when I go home for Christmas
I know I'll see you there
You look the same, but something's different
You're a stranger with the same freckles and blonde hair

[Chorus]
Growing pains
Growing up, growing away
The blood we share is thick, but nothing
Coulda stopped those kids from growing up
And growing up, growing away

[Verse 2]
We're with all the cousins playing pickle
You'll push me down
I'll break my pinky on the impact
Black, blue, and brown

Tell mе to rub some dirt and bear it
Cause rеal boys don't cry
I look up, tears already welling
And I ask you, then what?
And I
[Chorus]
Growing pains
Growing up, growing away
The blood we share is thick, but nothing
Coulda stopped those kids from growing up
And growing up, growing away

[Bridge]
The first time I got drunk
I ran into you at a concert
I punch you in the face with all the strength that I can muster
Youll laugh it off and put your arm around me to keep me from falling
Down
I get your wedding invitation and your call right after
You tell me it's addressed to somebody you remember
You say don't bother coming if you're a boy who cries when he falls
Down

[Chorus]
Growing pains
Growing up, growing away
The blood we share is thick, but nothing
Coulda stopped those kids from growing up
And growing up, growing away
