[Verse 1]
Put a band-aid on a shotgun wound
And pray to God it heals me
Rolls off your tongue
You mutter words so cold
But I suppose that's honesty
I've lost myself in blueprints all my life
But I'm anchored where I rest my head
So tell me darling
Have I lost my mind trying to find my head?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I've got these hands
Not a grip to lose
I've got one heart
And it's loving you
But I've only got one so I will move
[Chorus]
When an ocean's pouring from the blue skies above me
Do I sail on down until I find where I've been running
Do I dry my eyes 'til I feel okay?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, these growing pains
Growing pains
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Maybe too late to change my fate
'Cause I'm the only one, God heal me
He's got eyes that burn right through the sun
And I was taken surely
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've got these lips not a breath to waste
It's hard to turn back when you've got that taste
But I guess I'll go home 'cause I'm afraid
[Chorus]
When an ocean's pouring from the blue skies above me
Do I sail on down until I find where I've been running
Do I dry my eyes 'til I feel okay?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, these growing pains
Growing pains
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
All my life I've seen colored stars
And a whole new home
Right within his arms
Not sure what I'm after
[Outro]
Put a band-aid on a shotgun wound
And pray to God...
