Growing Up Lyrics by Elaine Tejeda

2018

[Verse 1]
Growing up isn't all that it’s cracked up to be
I remember wishing on stars to be 23
I have yet to reach that age but one thing I foresee
I'll be longing for things that used to bother me
Every nap that I took, took it for granted
Every man and woman can understand this
Every scrape and bruise that came when I couldn't stick my landing
They were just signs of how brave I came into this planet
[Hook]
Big shoes to fill
Strong bonds to keep
Paying of bills
Stay on your feet
Try to fulfill
Your wildest dreams
It’s uphill
But worth your while to peak
[Verse 2]
Got to give credit where credit is due
Growing up gave me more rhythm and access to booze
Learning and growing, its beautiful, its true
But sometimes I wish to pivot and go back a year or two
Selfishly erase my mistakes, white it out, print out a new take
Go back, turn over a new leaf, practice what has been preached to me
[Bridge]
Growing up is, tired eyes
Growing up is, severed ties
I wanna go back to a time
Never been seen naked by an eye and
[Hook]
No shoes to fill
Developing
Just time to kill
Three way calling
No worries
From here on out you'll see
It's all uphill
And it's a sight to see
Oooh ooooh
X2
[Bridge]
I hate to hold on to the past
But life is moving all too fast
(hm, hm)
I hate to hold on to the past (wooooah)
But life is moving all too fast (oooh)
Big shoes to fill
Shoes to fill
No time to kill
Time to kill
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams (hmm)
[Hook]
Big shoes to fill
Strong bonds to keep
Paying of bills
Stay on your feet
Try to fulfill
Your wildest dreams
It's uphill
But worth your while to peak
Oooh oooh
X2
