lyrics

I never could make it seem possible.
These demons inside me are unstoppable.
My typical reaction is pack a bowl and think logical
Retract from the world.
Kept it together but ten years caught up so fast
All the good times, I thought I could make them last.
But what did I know I was only 17 years old.

Life sped up, a blur gone by.
Lessons learned but I’m glad I tried.
I made mistakes
but that’s the part of playing life’s game charades.
You think you know, you don’t know
Then you turn out the same.
Not a damn thing changed till you breakdown
And decide to walk a different route.
In hopes to please the crowds
Who stuck beside you in every moment
And every lyric bleeding out
Find your higher peace and sleep
21 with eyes that cannot see.

It’s a bit cynical I know
But I don’t care
You can change if you want to.
No, I don’t care
I don’t care
You can change if you want to.

You’d think I’d learn one damn thing by 22.
Always acting a fool
Up until I met my boo
It was love that was overdue
But I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Grace was taking place
Didn’t see the lines I needed to trace
Took some time then I changed my ways
Did an about-face;Got rid of the glaze
But there will always be a fire to blaze.

Chorus

You learn as you grow.
You can change if you want to.
Isn’t that what growing up is for?
You can change if you want to.
