Growing Pains

Put a bandaid on a shotgun wound
And pray to God it heals me
Rolls off your tongue
You mutter words so cold
But I suppose that's honesty

I've lost myself in blueprints all my life
But I'm anchored where I rest my head
So tell me darling
Have I lost my mind trying to find my head?

But I've got these hands
Not a grip to lose
I've got one heart
And it's loving you
But I've only got one so I will move

When an ocean's pouring from the blue skies above me
Do I sail on down until I find where I've been running
Do I dry my eyes till I feel okay?

Oh, these growing pains
Growing pains
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Maybe too late to change my fate
'Cause I'm the only one, God heal me
He's got eyes that burn right through the Sun
And I was taken surely

And I've got these lips not a breath to waste
It's hard to turn back when you've got that taste
But I guess I'll go home 'cause I'm afraid

When an ocean's pouring from the blue skies above me
Do I sail on down until I find where I've been running
Do I dry my eyes till I feel okay?

Oh, these growing pains
Growing pains
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

All my life I've seen colored stars
And a whole new home
Right within his arms
Not sure what I'm after

Put a bandaid on a shotgun wound
And pray to God
