The second track of Motherwell, Grown Up deals with the idea of growing up, and particularly the feelings of loss and nostalgia that come with it. A main theme throughout is wondering how so much has changed so fast, amplifying said loss and nostalgia.
[Verse 1]
I can remember the feeling of being small
Praying to a god I don't believe in to grow tall
Can you remember the evenings of your youth?
Losing track of time, losing count of hours
Losing your balance, and then losing a tooth
[Chorus]
Where does it go?
So fast and so slow?
And so, you notice you got old
Where does it go?
Like how spring melts the snow?
One day, you're living on your own
[Verse 2]
I can remember believing
That my parents were gods
And yes, there's comfort in people
But fеar in a faith that's lost
Oh, what a wonderful feeling
To own and operate your lifе
Oh, what a terrible burden
All my decisions are mine
[Chorus]
Where does it go?
So fast and so slow?
And so, you notice you got old
Where does it go?
Like how spring melts the snow?
One day, you're living on your own
