This song is a little slower and a little sadder than what I've shared here before, but these lyrics are some of my favorites I've ever written.

lyrics

you're the bet placed right before the gun
you're the first punch thrown you're too late to run
you're the rough night
you're the good fight
you're the hit the gas at a yellow light
you're brace for impact don't look back

something very close to young but very far from new
your skin is a size too small
but growing up just means a farther fall
always say that you feel just like a kid again
but all that means to you is shrinking and confused
is heavy branches, fragile roots

you're the most natural of disasters
you're the screeching halt and the harder faster
you're the best part
you're the rough start
you're the come inside before it gets dark
i bet you're something else by now

something very close to young but very far from new
your skin is a size too small
but growing up just means a farther fall
always say that you feel just like a kid again
but all that means to you is shrinking and confused
is heavy branches, fragile roots

something very close to young but very far from new
your skin is a size too small
but growing up just means a farther fall
always say that you feel just like a kid again
but all that means to you is shrinking and confused
is heavy branches, fragile roots
