Growing Pains - Julia Gargano

Put a band-aid on a shotgun wound

And pray to God it heals me

Rolls off your tongue

You mutter words so cold

But I suppose that’s honesty

I’ve lost myself in blueprints all my life

But I’m anchored where I rest my head

So tell me darling

Have I lost my mind trying to find my head?

But I’ve got these hands

Not a grip to lose

I’ve got one heart

And it’s loving you

But I’ve only got one so I will move

When an ocean’s pouring from the blue skies above me

Do I sail on down until I find where I’ve been running

Do I dry my eyes 'til I feel okay?

Oh, these growing pains

Growing pains

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Maybe too late to change my fate

'Cause I’m the only one, God heal me

He’s got eyes that burn right through the sun

And I was taken surely

And I’ve got these lips not a breath to waste

It’s hard to turn back when you’ve got that taste

But I guess I’ll go home 'cause I’m afraid

When an ocean’s pouring from the blue skies above me

Do I sail on down until I find where I’ve been running

Do I dry my eyes 'til I feel okay?

Oh, these growing pains

Growing pains

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

All my life I’ve seen colored stars

And a whole new home

Right within his arms

Not sure what I’m after

Put a band-aid on a shotgun wound

And pray to God…
