Training Wheels

[Verse 1]
Rosy cheeks, baby teeth
Riding bikes and grazing knees
Chocolate-covered strawberries
Fake tattoos up our sleeves
Mom's blush on my cheeks
Like a boy, he's kinda sweet
Breaking up after a week
We still talk, but never married

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to but I can't go back, life's a one-way street
Then growing up and getting older is like driving high speed
And I can't hit the brakes and that's the part I hate

[Chorus]
Losing the training wheels means I'm gonna fall
Just 'cause I’m wearing heels, doesn't mean I feel tall
If I keep the candles burning
The years would still be turning
Losing the training wheels means losing control
Just 'cause I'm older now doesn't mean I feel whole
I wish the years won't be turning
If I keep the candles burning

[Verse 2]
What if I'm a liability
Or not who they want me to be?
If my thoughts get the best of me
I still call mom when it gets heavy
My little brother shot past my height
Can't fit on my dad's shoulders if I tried

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to but I can't go back, life's a one way street
Then growing up and getting older is like driving high speed
And I can't hit the brakes and that's the part I hate

[Chorus]
Losing the training wheels means I'm gonna fall
Just 'cause I’m wearing heels, doesn't mean I feel tall
If I keep the candles burning
The years would still be turning
Losing the training wheels means losing control
Just 'cause I'm older now doesn't mean I feel whole
I wish the years won't be turning
If I keep the candles burning

[Bridge]
Lost parts of me, kinda sad to think about
How fast moments pass, oh, I'm thinking way too loud
Still in this town, what if I never get out? (What if I never get out?)
Oh, I'm still me, learn to swim, but almost drown
Died once or twice when the guys I loved walked out
But I'm still here with both my feet on the ground
Blow another candle out, think I'm finally happy now

[Outro]
I lost the training wheels and learned how to fall
And now I'm wearing heels, sometimes I still feel small
I wished the years won't be turning
If I keep the candles, keep the candles burning
