Growing Pains

from If the Weather by HEADWAY

lyrics

my life has been headed
down this dead road
and all I could think was
where did I go wrong
was it this windy road slowly crushing me
and all I can see are these oak trees
its supposed to lead me where I want to be
but I realized my focus
has been on the wrong things
hoping for something
to appear out of thin air
which brings me to laugh at myself

like my dad once told me
you fight for what you believe
so I meticulously put myself at ease
and holding on is not an option
I wont forget what you told me
nothing in this world is free

these trees placed in front of me
and they wont budge because
despite being living things
they’re tougher than concrete
and though they bleed
they outlive you and me
these roots so deep I just have to believe
that this is the life I want to lead
as strong as the tree on this hill

you were never the one
to uproot me like this
and the lack of sunlight is making me miss
these opportunities to learn
and grow from my mistakes
I am a gambling man this is my only stake

with the strength to stand tall
despite this tormented will
courage to face the death
this world has to offer
and do nothing but sway with the wind
this is the nature I wish to achieve
