Growing Down

I used to crave a seat at a table that I should've fucking flipped

Ooh, but now I finally feel at ease in the skin I'm living in

Stopped giving a shit about people who are a walking contradiction

Who love to tell me who I am when they never try to listen

Took a lot of self-reflecting on my second guessing

And coming to terms with my first impressions

Is there a better way to learn a lesson than

Growing down into the roots that I tried to rip away from

Deep in the ground of the hills that I'm willing to die on

Into my body, into the lyrics

Into the feelings that I wanna keep feeling

After growing up, I found there ain't no ceiling

If I'm growing down

It took time to realize perfection ain't the enemy of good

And falling forwards will get me farther than giving up or quitting ever could

So look, now that I'm firmly planted in the dirt

Words don't really hurt, and for what it's worth

I know I might not look like much to you in a baggy T-shirt, but damn

There's a lot of diamonds in the rough of the earth, so

I'm growing down into the roots that I tried to rip away from

Deep in the ground of the hills that I'm willing to die on

Into my body, into the lyrics

Into the feelings that I wanna keep feeling

After growing up, I found there ain't no ceiling

If I'm growing down

If I'm growing down

I'm going deeper than I've ever gone before

It makes hard things harder to ignore

So if you see me out at the bar

And I don't look like I'm falling apart

It's 'cause I'm growing down

It's 'cause I'm growing down

(Oh, I'm growing down) into my body, into the lyrics

Into the feelings that I wanna keep feeling

After growing up, I found there ain't no ceiling (growing down)

If I'm growing down

If I'm growing down
