Growing Up - Nathan Wagner

I found a grey today

Childish instincts grow farther astray (Sinking farther from childish ways)

Time it slips away

Days are long but years they race

Would you slow down just a little

I don’t wanna reach the middle

I’m terrified of change

‘nother landmark in my story

‘nother bill another worry

My youths so far away

Would you hold on love

I’m just trying to catch up

Cause these leaves keep on falling

Then winter is stormin'

These seasons are shifting

Like dusk to morning

Wake me up

Make this slumber stop

It’s all slipping away

These hours to days

I’ll admit it I’m afraid

Of growing up

Another line on my face

A sign of wisdom or a mortals chain?

I guess we’r born in decay

Before you know it thse decades chase you

Down like there’s a bounty

Count to ten and they’re surrounding

Can’t outrun natures pace

Nothing new under the sun

Came from ash return to dust

Can’t win this wretched game

Would you hold on love

I’m just trying to catch up

Cause these leaves keep on falling

Then winter is stormin'

These seasons are shifting

Like dusk to morning

Wake me up

Make this slumber stop

It’s all slipping away

These hours to days

I’ll admit it I’m afraid

Of growing up

Of getting older of growing up

I’ve never thought I was strong enough

To be my saviour bear my own crutch

Afraid to see what this becomes

Would you slow down just a little

I don’t wanna miss the riddle

This moments all we have

Tell my mother that I love her

Tell my father tell my brothers

You’re everything I am

Oh hold on love

I’m just trying to catch up

Cause these leaves keep on falling

Then winter is stormin'

These seasons are shifting

Like dusk to morning

Wake me up

Make this slumber stop

It’s all slipping away

These hours to days

I’ll admit it I’m afraid

Of growing up
