[Verse 1]
Playing Tetris with my feelings
Tryna keep them all inside
Hollow shadows and my soul is spilling over
I'm out of time, mmm-mmh
Closing every door, wanna be alone
Lonely is a way that I survive
Sick of wanting more, sitting on the floor
Wondering where all my feelings go

[Chorus]
Nervous system's aching
Growing up is getting old

[Verse 2]
Don't get it
There's an ocean of emotion that I'm carrying inside
I am cautious
'Cause I've never understood how so much can fit in little me
Star-crossed soul (Hmm-hmm)
And I'm used to letting go (Used to letting go)
Sink deeper in the flow of it
My demons know (Mmm-mmh) exactly wherе my fears (Mmm-mmm-mmh)
Are hiding all my tears

[Chorus]
I'm torn by nеrvous system's aching
Growing up is getting old
Anxiety is draining
Getting up is growing old
[Bridge]
And if I ever take that second to leave my worries behind
Maybe I could tread the waters of time
Get out of my mind

[Chorus]
And growing up is getting old
Growing up is getting old
(And getting up is growing old)
Getting up is growing old

[Outro]
If your world is breaking
And growing up is getting old
Know that you're worth saving
And getting up is all you've got
