Verse 1 CI Used To Stare Out At The School Bus GLike It Was Some Holy, Yellow Train, AmPromised It Would Take Me Somewhere FPast The Edges Of My Small-Town Brain. CWatched My Brother Smoke Behind The Shed, GThought Dirtbag Meant Free Instead Of Lost, AmAnd My Sister With Her Thrift-Store Magic FMade Growing Up Look Worth The Cost. Pre‑Chorus AmI Wanted Every Chapter GBefore I Learned To Read, FWanted Life To Open Early CLike It Owed Itself To Me. Chorus CI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, GWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, AmWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut FTo The Map Of Being Alive. CBut I Ran So Fast Toward Living GThat I Tripped Over My Youth, AmAnd The World Felt So Much Bigger FWhen I Finally Told The Truth— AmI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, GJust Thought It Sounded Brave, FAnd I Wanted Everything At Once CBefore I Knew What It Would Take. Verse 2 CI Used To Mimic Every Adult GLike Their Shadows Fit My Skin, AmThought Learning Life Was Just A Checklist FOf The Places I Could Begin. CBut School Was Just Confusion, GAnd Driving Felt Like Fear, AmAnd Jobs Were Just The Quiet Proof FThat Childhood Disappears. Pre‑Chorus AmI Wanted Every Answer GBefore I Knew The Pain, FWanted Life To Feel Like Magic CInstead Of Weather In My Veins. Chorus CI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, GWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, AmWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut FTo The Map Of Being Alive. CBut I Ran So Fast Toward Living GThat I Tripped Over My Youth, AmAnd The World Felt So Much Bigger FWhen I Finally Told The Truth— AmI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, GJust Thought It Sounded Brave, FAnd I Wanted Everything At Once CBefore I Knew What It Would Take. Bridge AmMaybe Childhood Is A Promise GThat Adulthood Can’t Keep, FMaybe Learning Life Is Mostly CJust The Falling And The Leap. AmBut I Still Chase The Feeling GOf That Bright, Unbroken Sky— FWhen I Thought The World Was Waiting CAnd I Only Had To Try. Final Chorus CI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, GWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, AmWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut FTo The Map Of Being Alive. CNow I’m Older, Still I’m Learning GHow To Carry What I’ve Seen, AmAnd I Miss The Kid Who Wanted Life FLike It Was Something He Could Clean. AmI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, GBut I’m Trying Not To Break— F’Cause Wanting Everything At Once CIs How You Learn What’s Yours To Take.
