OUTGROWING THE NIGHT

Oh-oh

Funny how it hits you

When the music’s gone

Two missed calls, I let the phone ring

Same old crowd, same old everything

Everybody’s laughing, everybody’s lit

I’m standing in the middle, wondering why I feel like this

Used to love it when the whole room knew me

Now I leave early when the night gets moving

Nothing’s wrong, that’s the part I hate

I just don’t feel like myself in the same old place

Maybe I got what I wanted

Maybe it wasn’t what I thought

I’ve been running after every good feeling

Never asking what it cost

I think I’m outgrowing the night

Outgrowing the way I used to live

Used to need everybody’s eyes

Now I just want a reason to give a damn again

I’m not sad, I’m not lost

I’m just somewhere I haven’t been before

Maybe growing up feels strange sometimes

When the life you wanted doesn’t fit anymore

I used to say yes just to keep things going

Didn’t wanna miss out, so I kept on showing

Up for the people, the plans, the noise

Trying to be everybody’s favorite boy

Now I let it ring when I need some space

Don’t need a big excuse, don’t need to explain

I still like the lights, still love a good song

I just don’t wanna lose myself to belong

Maybe I got what I wanted

Maybe it wasn’t what I thought

I’ve been running after every good feeling

Never asking what it cost

I think I’m outgrowing the night

Outgrowing the way I used to live

Used to need everybody’s eyes

Now I just want a reason to give a damn again

I’m not sad, I’m not lost

I’m just somewhere I haven’t been before

Maybe growing up feels strange sometimes

When the life you wanted doesn’t fit anymore

I don’t hate the old me

He was doing what he knew

Trying to make a moment last

Trying to find a place to fit into

I just owe that kid the truth

There’s more to life than being seen

And I don’t have to lose who I was

To find out who I’m gonna be

I think I’m outgrowing the night

Outgrowing the way I used to live

I don’t need everybody’s eyes

I just want a life that feels like mine again

I’m not sad, I’m not lost

I’m just learning what I’m looking for

Maybe growing up feels strange sometimes

But I’m not afraid of what’s behind that door

Funny how it hits you

When the music’s gone

Maybe I’m not losing myself

Maybe I’m moving on
