Stream now on all platforms!

Growing pains is inspired by the turbulence of growing up while coming to terms with the reality of growing older and having increasing responsibilities. The song offers the perspective that this process becomes a lot easier and almost exciting when you have the privilege of doing this alongside someone else, be this a partner, friend or relative.

Lyrics:
Freak out freak out
Our hands are in the air now
In Martha's basement
Peace out peace out
Well it's sex then drugs then lights out
But I think about you often
And Martha it won't change
I wish you were forgotten
With all my growing pains

Oh no oh no
In all of this commotion
Martha's crying
So stoned so stoned
And her daddy took her payphone
But when the party's over
Nothing stays the same
Can only trust my mother
With all these growing pains

And I can't lie
We've been over this a hundred times
and I'm so sorry that I said goodbye
I won't do that again
But I can't help it

Cause she's so sweet
And I'm a walking talking crisis
Who always knows where good advice is
So all I wanna say is
Please, don't leave
See I'm a victim to my vices
But understand if you might think
What if you kissed the devil and liked it
What if you kissed the devil and liked it
What if you kissed the devil

But yeah, I'll never be a tough man
But maybe your lover baby i'll be
Toe to toe when we meet
And darling so sweet
And me I am just playing
Trying to keep my cool
You see I just get nervous
Hanging around you

Baby baby
They say your gonna change me
And it's for the better
But lately lately afraid your gonna hate me
Cause I don't want to get older
I'm afraid of change
But I tell ya when I hold ya
No more growing pains

And I can't lie
We've been over this a hundred times
And I'm so sorry that I said goodbye
I won't do that again
She said well I can't lie
We've been over this a hundred times
And I'm so sorry that I said goodbye I won't do that again
Not again, not again
But I can't help it

Cause she's so sweet
And I'm a walking talking crisis
Who always knows where good advice is
So all I wanna say is please, don't leave
See I'm a victim to my vices
But understand if you might think
What if you kissed the devil and liked it
What if you kissed the devil and liked it
What if you kissed the devil oh
