[Verse 1] Get to feeling okay Taking it day by day Thinking well the worst is behind me But then that cloud rolls in Briefly think no not again Before it swallows and the numb sets in Not feeling is still feeling And it feels like shit No interest in anything no hope no light I just want it to go and stay gone But I know it won't This house isn't a home It's a tomb [Chorus] Was I ever really happy? Was I ever more than this? A man with nothing within nothing without Nothing to reach for nothing to hold on Don't feel alive More dead and cold Playing home videos in my mind Of so-called better times Seeing myself as a child And wanting to tell him Enjoy it while you can Take your time you'll grow up soon And you'll want to die but death won't come No one will you're going to feel so alone Please grow up slow Grow up slow [Verse 2] Sleep offers no escape what little I get It's hollow and festers with deep pools of regret Currents of what if that drag me down To the abyss so why bother where I always drown I try to climb scale my way out But every handhold brings me closer to doubt I ain't never getting out How did I get here what did I do To deserve this hell I'm halfway living through With no light to guide me nothing to do But sit here and fade become part of the gloom Revisiting dusty vignettes Of so-called better times Seeing myself as a child And wanting to tell him [Chorus] Enjoy it while you can Take your time you'll grow up soon And you'll want to die but death won't come No one will you're going to feel so alone Please grow up slow Grow up slow Grow up slow (Mmm) [Bridge] Even when I catch a faint glimpse of light It's snuffed out quickly by some bullshit of life Some say it's acts of God if it is then goddamn I'll never believe he gives a shit about man I'm just I'm so tired I want it to end [Outro] When I see my daughter So happy and free So small and so precious everything to me Sometimes I choke back tears 'Cause I know what them years do I have to stop myself from telling her Enjoy it while you can Take your time you'll grow up soon And you'll want to die but death won't come No one will you're going to feel so alone Please please grow up slow Grow up slow Grow up slow (Mmm)
