Verse 1 DI Used To Stare Out At The School Bus ALike It Was Some Holy, Yellow Train, BmPromised It Would Take Me Somewhere GPast The Edges Of My Small-Town Brain. DWatched My Brother Smoke Behind The Shed, AThought Dirtbag Meant Free Instead Of Lost, BmAnd My Sister With Her Thrift-Store Magic GMade Growing Up Look Worth The Cost. Pre‑Chorus BmI Wanted Every Chapter ABefore I Learned To Read, GWanted Life To Open Early DLike It Owed Itself To Me. Chorus DI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, AWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, BmWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut GTo The Map Of Being Alive. DBut I Ran So Fast Toward Living AThat I Tripped Over My Youth, BmAnd The World Felt So Much Bigger GWhen I Finally Told The Truth— BmI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, AJust Thought It Sounded Brave, GAnd I Wanted Everything At Once DBefore I Knew What It Would Take. Verse 2 DI Used To Mimic Every Adult ALike Their Shadows Fit My Skin, BmThought Learning Life Was Just A Checklist GOf The Places I Could Begin. DBut School Was Just Confusion, AAnd Driving Felt Like Fear, BmAnd Jobs Were Just The Quiet Proof GThat Childhood Disappears. Pre‑Chorus BmI Wanted Every Answer ABefore I Knew The Pain, GWanted Life To Feel Like Magic DInstead Of Weather In My Veins. Chorus DI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, AWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, BmWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut GTo The Map Of Being Alive. DBut I Ran So Fast Toward Living AThat I Tripped Over My Youth, BmAnd The World Felt So Much Bigger GWhen I Finally Told The Truth— BmI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, AJust Thought It Sounded Brave, GAnd I Wanted Everything At Once DBefore I Knew What It Would Take. Bridge BmMaybe Childhood Is A Promise AThat Adulthood Can’t Keep, GMaybe Learning Life Is Mostly DJust The Falling And The Leap. BmBut I Still Chase The Feeling AOf That Bright, Unbroken Sky— GWhen I Thought The World Was Waiting DAnd I Only Had To Try. Final Chorus DI Wanted Driving, Wanted Heartbreak, AWanted Jobs And Late-Night Fights, BmWanted Wisdom Like A Shortcut GTo The Map Of Being Alive. DNow I’m Older, Still I’m Learning AHow To Carry What I’ve Seen, BmAnd I Miss The Kid Who Wanted Life GLike It Was Something He Could Clean. BmI Didn’t Know What Growing Up Meant, ABut I’m Trying Not To Break— G’Cause Wanting Everything At Once DIs How You Learn What’s Yours To Take.
