The Growing Pains Booklet

[verse 1] do you recall the days at your old place? / playing with troll dolls / to scare the kids away / my closet was a time machine/ yours, a stage / I wish we told those little girls / they're gonna be okay / still picture it all in my mind/making a campfire/out of broken flashlights/jealous of your high tops/'cause someone stole mine / wish someone would've told me that we'd be alright/[chorus] my kind of time/is meant to carelessly spend/ and my kind of nights / are the ones that don't end / my kind of fun/ doesn't make any sense/and my kind of love/you won't never forget/ [verse 2] do you remember/all the cartoons at midnight/like the one / about the crass-humoured french guy / and what about you, Mr. Poetry? / and what about all we built/in just a couple weeks/talking about all of our fears / through a cracked screen/ picking little fights/ over falling asleep /I wish you knew I loved you/when you knew you loved me / really wish I knew you / Sooner than my 20s/ [chorus]/[bridge] I'm a product of who's when's and how's/those who let go/ and those who stuck around/wish somebody would've told me / I'd be here now / 'cause this kind of life/is one to sing about/ [Chorus]

[verse 1] I won't tell you I'm lonely / 'cause it may be selfish / I won't ask you to hold me / 'cause that won't mend what's helpless / [pre-chorus] there's not a thing I could say / not a song I could sing / for your mind to change / nothing can fill up the space / won't ask you to stay / but let me ask you one thing / [chorus] oh, oh, oh when did you fall out of love? / out of love / oh, oh, oh when did you fall out of love with me? / [verse 2] I can't float in an ocean / that's already been drained/I won't cry at your feet now / I know my tears will fall in vain/ [pre-chorus] x2/ [bridge] no use wondering / why your changing heart has wandered / so I'll ask you this question / 'cause it might help me sleep longer [chorus] x2/ out of love, out of love, out of love / with me

[verse 1] never ever have I been someone who's had it all / like, not at all / and on occasion I can think too much I get uncomfortable/hide behind my walls / and I talk in circles but at least / I say what I mean /and I rock my heart on the sleeve/of my T-shirt/ [chorus] so if I should die tomorrow / I'll die with all of me, all of me / and if 1/ give back the time that I've borrowed / I'll know I gave everything, everything / and no you won't, no you won't forget / forget me, no / no you won't/ no you won't forget this girl next door / [verse 2] never have I ever met someone / who worries like I do / but that's nothing new / and I don't really like to get dressed up / but what's it to you? I know what I can do / and I'm not Bowie, Prince or Queen / but at least I do what I dream and I rock my soul on both sleeves/of my T-shirt/ [chorus] / [bridge] I may not be a genius / I'm just a girl with some reasons / to stay plain jane / but I won't go till you hear me / I'll make sure not to leave / before you know my name

these days I'm my own best friend / I make my bed to lay in it again / don't know who to trust / and no time of the month can justify this / blame it on the growing pains / blame it on the growing pains / blame it on the growing pains / or blame it on me? / blame it on the growing pains/blame it on the growing pains / blame it on the growing pains/or blame it on me?/ blame it on me?/or do I blame it on me?
