lyrics

I turn another year older
and I'm still looking around
for adolescent romance
and a home not my home town
but with the comfort of a place that I've laid my head for years

I made a list of where I've been
who I've known and where they went
which growing pains have worked
which wisdom I still second guess
and how much time has passed since I've sincerely been in love

as my friends and I grow older
some slow down while some embolden
and in some ways it feels like leaving
and in others like coming home
and our issues haven't changed
just our roles and plans got rearranged
while the bright-light dreams we've sown
back down against the fear of ending up alone

should I slowly settle down
reshape the context of these dreams
for some nothing has changed
for others children have changed everything
as the politics of family move ahead against the politics of love

should I plan safely for the future
take advice or trust my heart
do they need to be at odds
is the journey really the important part
and I search myself within
but the answers only come in from above

as my friends and I grow older
some slow down while some embolden
and in some ways it feels like leaving
and in others like coming home
and our issues haven't changed
just our roles and plans got rearranged
while the bright-light dreams we've sown
back down against the fear of ending up alone

while the bright-light dreams we've sown
dissolve and catalyze the new dreams that have grown
