Grown by Gatlin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Straight ahead
Don't open up the door downstairs
Leave it for the big kids
With their big heads
I'm always wrong
I'll never be the smartest one
Because I just sing songs
And I haven't lived too long
[Chorus]
So I sit on the hardwood floor
And I breathe in and out to calm me down
'Cause I keep thinking 'bout how I'm getting older
But I thought I'd be grown by now
[Verse 2]
When did I learn
My mother's not always right
When she talks too loud
And holds me too tight?
I think a little fear's okay
Keeps you on your toes
But what if my biggest fear
Is that I'm gonna die alone?
[Chorus]
So I sit on the hardwood floor
And I breathe in and out to calm me down
'Cause I keep thinking 'bout how I'm getting older
But I thought I'd be grown by now
[Bridge]
'Cause I just feel, I feel like a little girl again
Wanting to be liked by all her friends
And I just feel, I feel like a little girl that's scared
Scared that her childhood will end
[Chorus]
So I sit on the hardwood floor
And I breathe in and out to calm me down
'Cause I keep thinking 'bout how we're getting older
But we thought we'd be grown by now
Straight ahead
Don't open up the door downstairs
Leave it for the big kids
With their big heads
I'm always wrong
I'll never be the smartest one
Because I just sing songs
And I haven't lived too long
[Chorus]
So I sit on the hardwood floor
And I breathe in and out to calm me down
'Cause I keep thinking 'bout how I'm getting older
But I thought I'd be grown by now
[Verse 2]
When did I learn
My mother's not always right
When she talks too loud
And holds me too tight?
I think a little fear's okay
Keeps you on your toes
But what if my biggest fear
Is that I'm gonna die alone?
[Chorus]
So I sit on the hardwood floor
And I breathe in and out to calm me down
'Cause I keep thinking 'bout how I'm getting older
But I thought I'd be grown by now
[Bridge]
'Cause I just feel, I feel like a little girl again
Wanting to be liked by all her friends
And I just feel, I feel like a little girl that's scared
Scared that her childhood will end
[Chorus]
So I sit on the hardwood floor
And I breathe in and out to calm me down
'Cause I keep thinking 'bout how we're getting older
But we thought we'd be grown by now
