Growing In Song Lyrics
Growing In by Maddie Zahm I threw out all my dresses and put my Bible in a box
Got rid of shallow people who like to tell me what I'm not
I even kissed an Emily and came out to my family
I learned to take it easy, let empathy surround me
Am I growin' up
Or am I growin' in
To my skin and my age and my surroundings
The niche and the bad things about me?
Am I movin' on
Or am I movin' in
And accepting that I'll always be changing
That this life is a mess and it's amazing?
I wish I could've told myself when I was a kid
Nobody's really growing up
We're just growing in
I finally stopped chasing personified question marks
Now I can talk politics with my grandpa and not take it to heart
And I fell in love and fell out of it
Thought it'd kill me but got over it
I'm not afraid of a full meal, the mirror or my brain
Am I growin' up
Or am I growin' in
To my skin and my age and my surroundings
The niche and the bad things about me?
Am I movin' on
Or am I movin' in
And accepting that I'll always be changing
That this life is a mess and it's amazing?
I wish I could've told myself when I was a kid
Nobody's really growing up
We're just growing in
You have time, kid
So just take your time, kid
You have time, kid, kid, kid
You have time, kid
Just take your time, kid
You have time, kid
Just take your time, kid, kid, kid
