- growing pains[verse 1] make my way through the motions / I try to ignore it / but home's looking farther the closer I get / don't know why I can't see the end / is it over yet?/ a short leash and a short fuse / don't match / they tell me it ain't that bad / "now, don't you overreact" / so I just hold my breath / don't know why I can't see the sun when young should be fun / [pre-chorus] and I guess the bad can get better / gotta be wrong before it's right / every happy phrase engraved in my mind and I've always been a go-getter/ there's truth in every word I write / but still the growing pains, growing pains / they're keeping me up at night/ [chorus] (hey hey x8) and I can't hide/ 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night (x2) [verse 2] try to mend what's left / of my content incomprehension / as I take on the stress of the mess that I've made / don't know if i even care for "grown" / if it's just alone / [pre chorus] / [chorus] / [bridge] it's starting to look like / Ms. Know-It-All can't take her own advice / can't find / pieces of my peace of mind / I cry / more than I want to admit but I can't lie / to myself, to anyone / cause phoning it in isn't any fun / can't run / back to my youth the way I want to the days my brother was quicker to fool/ AM radio, not much to do / used monsters as an excuse to lie awake / now the monsters are the ones that I have to face / no band-aids for the growing pains (Alessia Caracciolo, Warren Okay Felder, Andrew Wansel) / © 2018 Alcara Songs/Sony ATV Music Publishing (SOCAN/BMI)//Crow's Tree Publishing (BMI).

what a Strange world wheneven i live
[verse 1] there's yelling in the hallway/I found refuge on a twin bed / of this three-star hotel / I hear the laughter from the tv / static Rachel talks to Phoebe / about that cat that smells / and I know this place is haunted/ I swear hear somebody knocking/but I can't really tell / [pre-chorus] and this outlet's busted / phone died and I can't charge it/ what a life, man, what a life this is / just me myself and nothing / I taught me how to love it / home is wherever I live / [verse 2] I remember I owe mom a call/ as I hang my stray hairs on the shower walls for decoration / I wonder what I'd hear if rooms could talk / and I wonder why I'm thinking that at all / I'm going crazy/[pre-chorus 2] this toilet's rusted / food came but I don't trust it / what a life, man, what a life this is just me myself and nothing / but I taught me how to love it/ home is wherever I live / [bridge] hard to sleep sometimes / with no one by my side/ I do my best to find / the sense in it / the more the days go by / the more myself and 1/shake hands and realize / the benefits of independence / [pre-chorus 3] it's really something / to make homes of wom out luggage/what a life man what a life this is / just me myself and nothing / somehow I've leamed to love it / home is wherever I live

[verse 1] St. Nick don't exist anymore and Oz was just a lonely man / it's so damn hard to believe in anything again / wise is the optimist / but truth is I don't understand / haven't figured out much of anything/ [pre-chorus] what a strange world / strange world, strange world / [chorus] 'round and 'round and 'round it goes / heroes fall like dominos / we try to help it but we won't/all we know is that we don't / 'round and 'round and 'round we go / the chips will fall and so it goes / and it's all out of our control / all we know is that we don't [verse 2] is this all there is? / preachers and rocket ships/ have never quite made any sense of it / yet / Paul says "let it be" / but the other said "the test is key" / I say where's the line / between real and fantasy? [pre-chorus] / strange world/strange world / strange world/ [chorus]

[verse 1] there you are with your college friends / you played in a marching band / I can't help but wish I knew you then / but I guess I know you now / [pre-chorus] it looks as if I've stumbled / right into the palm of your hand/ [chorus] hey, you/hey mr. knock on my door / I'm sorry that I've been emotions galore/ am I crazy for wanting a little bit more? / a little more of you / a little more, a little more of you this feeling's hard to ignore / please say you'll never get bored/can you blame me for wanting / a little bit more / a little more of you a little more, a little more of you / [verse 2] say that it's the same / take a drill right to my brain/oh, the way you did just yesterday / guess I get it now / [Pre-chorus] hey, yeah, yeah yeah (x4) / a little more of you / a little more, a little more of you

[verse 1] what happens to a flame / when it burns out?/what happens to a love that's not new? / what happens when I'm no longer impressive?/or when there's nothing left to learn / about you? [pre-chorus] see I used to wonder 'bout you/what it would be like to love you / now I've seen every hole in your heart / I'm used to loving slowly / but this time you already know me / I hope you like all the broken parts/ [cho- rus] oh, we can't run away / from the comfortable / 'cause it's inevitable / in love, in love / oh, it's time we make way / for the comfortable/'cause it's already comfortable /in us, in us/ [verse 2] they say the honeymoon / is just a puppet show / they say nobody/really makes it through / and though a part of me wishes / that this was two July's ago / the rest of me / is safer here with you/[pre-chorus] see I used to wonder bout you/what it'd be like to love you / but now I know you inside out / see, I'm used to loving slowly and it took you nothing to know me / what happens when I run out of parts? [chorus] oh, I guess you could say i/ that it's comfortable / and it's inevitable / in love, in love / oh, it's time we make way for the comfortable / 'cause it's already comfortable / in us, in us/ [bridge] turns out you think my favourite song's annoying/ turns out no one makes me sensitive / like you/used to be sad / that the honeymoons behind us/ until I realized that it means we made it through / [chorus]

[verse 1] choose your weapon / and let's go / who's gonna beat this level? /1 speed up / you slow down / looks like I'm on your tail now / another round / do we give up? / this is taking longer than Zelda / hold on / what I meant was / Is it too late to get a 1-up? / [pre-chorus] baby baby baby / this is getting too crazy / I don't have the training / baby baby baby / this love ain't a game / so we should stop playing/ [chorus] push and shove / go 'head and take your aim / we better duck/ cause right now nobody's safe / and we could grow up / but it's no fun that way / and so we treat love / like it's a Nintendo game / but nobody wins / [verse 2] All the trash talk / is getting real old / I'd rather try my hand at rainbow road / I'm focused / plan my next move / but you're onto me so it's no use / it's a showdown / a game for two / pick each other's brains / looking for clues / a battle / with no objective / who will be the final one standing? / [Prechorus] / [Chorus]
