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 growing up
Or am I growing in
To my skin and my age and my surroundings
The niche and the bad things about me?
Am I moving on
Or am I moving in
And accepting that I'll always be changing
That this life is a mess and it's amazing?
I wish I coulda 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 personified politics with my grandpa and not take it to heart
And I fell in love, then fell out of it, thought it'd kill me, but I got over it
I'm not afraid of a full meal
The mirror or my brain
Am I growing up
Or am I growing in
To my skin and my age and my surroundings
The niche and the bad things about me?
Am I moving on
Or am I moving in
And accepting that I'll always be changing
That this life is a mess and it's amazing?
I wish I coulda 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)
