Grow Down Lyrics by Luca George

I can't see the animals in the clouds anymore
Used to be so scared to step on cracks in the floor
Face down on the trampoline, could’ve sworn I was flying
Now I’m knee-deep in emails, and I feel like I’m dying
Used to jump in puddles, but I don’t anymore
Cause I’m wearing brand-new shoes I know that I can’t afford
You said I was five, but I was five and a half
I’m still collecting rocks, but now they melt in a glass

We only grow up
I wanna grow down
Time’s catching up
I wanna slow down
Cause life is like
All my broken dreams turned into bad habits
And I’m hoping that I don’t forget the magic
I used to get up
When I was knocked down
Now I just give up
And don’t leave the house
I used to love dancing 'til I learned that I was bad at it
I guess we didn’t know how good we had it
We only grow up
But I wanna grow down

When I saw a star shooting, yeah, I’d make a wish
Until somebody told me that it didn’t exist
It was night skies
And fireflies
And trying to catch ‘em
Now it’s long nights
And the big light
And teary-eyed
Overanalyze
Who’s that guy?
Let’s start a fight
To get a reaction

We only grow up
I wanna grow down
Time’s catching up
I wanna slow down
Cause life is like
All my broken dreams turned into bad habits
And I’m hoping that I don’t forget the magic
I used to get up
When I was knocked down
Now I just give up
And don’t leave the house
I used to love dancing 'til I learned that I was bad at it
I guess we didn’t know how good we had it

I thought I’d be a vet when I got older
But I’d find it too hard—"I’m not smart," said my teacher
I used to think that Bruno was my brother
But if there is a God
Why don’t dogs live forever?

We only grow up
I wanna grow down
Time’s catching up
I wanna slow down
'Cause life is like
All my broken dreams turned into bad habits
And I’m hoping that I don’t forget the magic
I used to get up
When I was knocked down
Now I just give up
And don’t leave the house
I used to love dancing 'til I learned that I was bad at it
I guess we didn’t know how good we had it
We only grow up
But I wanna grow down
