Lyrics

"growing pains
sun on my skin in the morning
walking the Pompano Pier
dad in a pinch between hospital stints
mom took a job as cashier

growing pains
smell the Atlantic from uHaul
one thousand miles in the back
Bridge of Popeye we crossed in the night
the river beneath us was black

growing pains
I thought I’d be safe by now
from suffering caused by change
growing pains

the cancer she got on your birthday
acted like it wasn’t there
taught me to smile taught me denial
and I helped her shave off her hair

growing pains
I thought I’d be safe by now
from suffering caused by change

though I’m all grown up
it’s not enough
the tomorrows come
but yesterdays remain"
