Grow
Conan Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like minutes but really it's hours
The cooling pavements calling my name and
The zooming street signs don't look the same, no
Don't know why, but I think I'm ready for it
Yeah, I think I'm ready for
Running on concrete
I finally can breathe
I think I'm ready for
Only you and me
We made it out, it seems
I made it out, it seems
I think I'm ready to
Grow, to grow
To grow, to grow
Familiar sounds
The lake holds all our secrets
Nostalgia bound
Yeah I'll take my time evolving
Dreaming of phone calls
You knew all along
The way we joked 'til we laughed our tails off
See it all unfold
An emerald life before me
Yeah I think I'm ready for
Running on concrete
Electricity
I finally can breathe
I think I'm ready for
Only you and me
We made it out, it seems
I made it out, it seems
I think I'm ready to
Grow, to grow
To grow, to grow
Yeah I see it comin', I see it comin'
Oh boy I'm runnin', oh boy I'm runnin'
I see it comin', I see it comin'
Oh boy I'm runnin'
And oh boy I'm runnin', runnin'
Grow, to grow
To grow, to grow
(Grow, to grow)
Pure reality, don't know where it'll lead
But everything's a dream
I think I'm ready for
(To grow, to grow)
Only you and me
We made it out it seems
I made it out it seems
I think I'm ready, ready
