29 Lyrics

I remember when I first learned how to ride a bike

Flying up and down the street like I was free

Or playing baseball in the yard with all the fireflies

While the sun had start to set before the trees

When did I forget how to be young again

Staying up until the sunrise tucked me in

Why do I pretend I was a mess back then

Now I'm scared of being who I wanna be

For the first time in my life I feel like I'm grown up

Twentynine and standing almost six foot three

When did I become the person who's afraid to take a chance

Is that what growing up just seems to guarantee

This isn't who the younger me thought he would be

Used to have all kinds of questions I would ask my dad

Like on a roadtrip, are we almost there yet

Why do we grow out of questions think it's better not to ask

Did someone tell us there's no room to take a guess

When did I forget how to be young again

Staying up until the sunrise tucked me in

Why do I pretend I was a mess back then

Now I'm scared of being who I wanna be

For the first time in my life I feel like I'm grown up

Twentynine and standing almost six foot three

When did I become the person who's afraid to take a chance

Is that what growing up just seems to guarantee

This isn't who the younger me thought he would be

Almost thirty years of questions feels like

There should be more answers

There is so much left to figure out

I've learned life is full of lessons

Like learning how to roll with punches

Or that time will never slow down

For the first time I'm okay that I am growing up

Twentynine's another year for me to see

I've done a million things I can't believe

And fallen in love

And it's better than I ever could've dreamed

When did I become the person who's afraid to take a chance

Is that what growing up just seems to guarantee

Still it's better than I ever could've dreamed
