Growing Up Lyrics by Alli Walker

Growing Up

2023

[Verse 1]
I was seventeen, couldn't wait to leave
Next thing I knew I was twenty-three
Wished I could fly home, but I had a job to keep
And couldn't afford a seat
Ten years flies by fast
It was too late by the time I looked back
So much changed since the last time I saw you, mom and dad

[Chorus]
You trusted me to trust my gut
I don't know if I trust me as much
It's hard to come to terms with losing touch
But I made a choice when I was young
Just trying to become someone
I'm not ready for this kind of growing up
This kind of growing up
Oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]
I still feel fifteen but when I go back home time hits me
It changes like the lines on your cheeks
Reminding me of the smiles I ain't seen
Ain't it crazy how I remember you at my age now?
And I'm still trying to figure this thing out

[Chorus]
You trusted me to trust my gut
I don't know if I trust me as much
It's hard to come to terms with losing touch
But I made a choice when I was young
Just trying to become someone
I'm not ready for this kind of growing up
This kind of growing up
Oh-oh-oh, oh
(This kind of growing up, mhm)

[Bridge]
You still look at me the same
Conversations like nothing's changed
But then I drive away
And I won't be back here for months
It's harder everytime I come
It's still never long enough

[Chorus]
But you trusted me to trust my gut
I don't know if I trust me as much
It's hard to come to terms with losing touch
But I made a choice when I was young
Just trying to become someone
I'm not ready for this kind of growing up
This kind of growing up
Oh-oh-oh, oh

[Outro]
This kind of growing up, mhm
