Verse 1 AI Used To Stare Out At The School Bus ELike It Was Some Holy, Yellow Train, F#mPromised It Would Take Me Somewhere DPast The Edges Of My Small-Town Brain. AWatched My Brother Smoke Behind The Shed, EThought Dirtbag Meant Free Instead Of Lost, F#mAnd My Sister With Her Thrift-Store Magic DMade Growing Up Look Worth The Cost. Pre‑Chorus F#mI Wanted Every Chapter EBefore I Learned To Read, DWanted Life To Open Early ALike It Owed Itself To Me. Chorus AI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, EWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, F#mWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut DTo The Map Of Being Alive. ABut I Ran So Fast Toward Living EThat I Tripped Over My Youth, F#mAnd The World Felt So Much Bigger DWhen I Finally Told The Truth— F#mI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, EJust Thought It Sounded Brave, DAnd I Wanted Everything At Once ABefore I Knew What It Would Take. Verse 2 AI Used To Mimic Every Adult ELike Their Shadows Fit My Skin, F#mThought Learning Life Was Just A Checklist DOf The Places I Could Begin. ABut School Was Just Confusion, EAnd Driving Felt Like Fear, F#mAnd Jobs Were Just The Quiet Proof DThat Childhood Disappears. Pre‑Chorus F#mI Wanted Every Answer EBefore I Knew The Pain, DWanted Life To Feel Like Magic AInstead Of Weather In My Veins. Chorus AI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, EWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, F#mWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut DTo The Map Of Being Alive. ABut I Ran So Fast Toward Living EThat I Tripped Over My Youth, F#mAnd The World Felt So Much Bigger DWhen I Finally Told The Truth— F#mI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, EJust Thought It Sounded Brave, DAnd I Wanted Everything At Once ABefore I Knew What It Would Take. Bridge F#mMaybe Childhood Is A Promise EThat Adulthood Can’t Keep, DMaybe Learning Life Is Mostly AJust The Falling And The Leap. F#mBut I Still Chase The Feeling EOf That Bright, Unbroken Sky— DWhen I Thought The World Was Waiting AAnd I Only Had To Try. Final Chorus AI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, EWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, F#mWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut DTo The Map Of Being Alive. ANow I’m Older, Still I’m Learning EHow To Carry What I’ve Seen, F#mAnd I Miss The Kid Who Wanted Life DLike It Was Something He Could Clean. F#mI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, EBut I’m Trying Not To Break— D’Cause Wanting Everything At Once AIs How You Learn What’s Yours To Take.
