Carlin - Growing Up Takes Time Lyrics

Why do I feel nervous?
Like you don't think I'm worth it
No matter what I tell myself?
It's been a hard week
Matter of fact it's been a really hard year
There's no escaping it
Tonight I'm going out to clear my mind
You'll catch me under
Streetlights on a quiet night
Ten stars and a satellite
Nobody, just you and I
That's when I start to feel alright
I was born with fight-or-flight
Just a kid who never realized
What it takes to finally feel alive
Growing up takes time
I'm sorry 'bout all the times I chose the easy way out
I just wanted a friend
I just wanted to feel something in the end
I'm so sorry
If there's one thing I know it's that
You were there the whole time
But sometimes I get cloudy in my mind
Streetlights on a quiet night
Ten stars and a satellite
Nobody, just you and I
That's when I start to feel alright
I was born with fight-or-flight
Just a kid who never realized
What it takes to finally feel alive
Growing up takes time
Don't worry
Things take time
You gotta lot more years to feel alright
You gotta look up
Don't press rewind
'Cause the hardest part is out of sight
You're a broken kid
And that's okay
He wouldn't want it any other way
What you're feeling
He felt too
So he intercepted space and time for you
Don't worry
Things take time
You gotta lot more years to feel alright
You gotta look up
Don't press rewind
'Cause the hardest part is out of sight
You're a broken kid
And that's okay
He wouldn't want it any other way
What you're feeling
He felt too
So he intercepted space and time for you
So you'll catch me under
Streetlights on a quiet night
Ten stars and a satellite
Nobody, just you and I
That's when I start to feel alright
I was born with fight-or-flight
Just a kid who never realized
What it takes to finally feel alive
Growing up takes time
Growing up takes time
Growing up takes time
