Growing Pains
What's a name
When in the darkness we all look the same?
Holding candles looking for the flame
For the fire to chase the night away
As we wait for daylight to break
What is life kept to ourselves?
Careful words composed?
It's a book upon the shelf
Its story never told
We are frames
Chasing photos of our happier days
Clinging to the ones they can't erase
Going on to find that perfect place
Where we can love each other
We can find each other
We can shape the world again
What is life kept to ourselves?
Careful words composed?
It's a book upon the shelf
Its story never told
Pages turn and then unfold
To show us where we've been
As the signs along the road
To lead us home again
I feel like I am turned inside out
I've come so far I can't turn around
But I don't know the next steps to take
'Cause all you left were me and the growing pains
What is life kept to ourselves?
Careful words composed?
It's a book upon the shelf
Its story never told
Pages turn and then unfold
To show us where we've been
As the signs along the road
To lead us home again
