Текст песни Growing Pains - Shylock

I see you walk by and not acknowledge my existence
What's the difference, huh? You wanna hear my opinions?
I'm like a star in the sky, among a billion others, listen
You wouldn't be the first to not notice I existed
Investing interest in a person just leads to messes
I guess it's better for us we don't have any connection
But you're also a star, just as impressive, don't forget
That in this world below us, everything is connected
But you don't know what I'd give for a smile in my direction
Just a little taste of Heaven might lift me from this depression
Not to mention, while I've been on this path to my redemption
As a man, I'd like to make a confession
That suppressing conversation this time won't be forgiven
We just keep passing it up, and every night I lose rest and
If you gimme a chance I know you won't show resistance
No regrets, and if so
Forget me in an instant

I think I'm growing on ya
Yeah, I know what I said
I'm not delusional but it plays out in my head
Will we wed or will this end before it even begins?
I'll just go back and shed my skin and start all over again

See, we were put on this path, but crossing paths for no reason?
I should know better than that, I'm thinking we're supposed to meet
But when I see you I'm in shock and I forget how to speak
My words get trampled and trapped while I trip over my feet
But I know just what to say as I mumble through my teeth
I think, how would you react? I might appear as a creep
But there's more to me, appearance only runs skin deep
See my heart has been locked and you just might be the key
It's rare I walk past and have the urge to say 'wait
Did you just feel that as you looked over my way?
The second our eyes met my stomach started to shake
Like I've awoken after years to a slap in the face
So now you have my attention, hoping I might get to know ya
I'm not such a bad guy, one day I might get to show ya
All that's been hiding behind these eyes that you're not supposed to
See, you'll fall for me and then I'm gonna grow on ya'

And now I'm growing on ya
Yeah, you heard what I said
I'm not delusional but it plays out in my head
Will we wed or will this end before it even begins?
I'll just go back and shed my skin and figure out what comes next

Now when you walk by me, you smile and say 'hi'
The sun in my sky shines and I see a light
In my life again trying hard to push its way in
Don't get excited, nothing's changed, still nothing is different
Until I build up the courage to say
'Hey, my name is Daniel
I don't normally do this, I should be at home on the couch, flipping channels
Before I kick off my sandals
And make my bed and take a puff before I blow out the candles
After I wrote you a poem that you would put on your mantle
I just dismantled myself, I gave you all I could handle
While I found the words to tell you how I feel so sad though
We could've been happy but I'll just sit here with my shadow'
And that's just how it goes, and it still goes to show
That the 'shy' is a curse, these words that just seem to flow
From my head, through my pen but that's as far as it goes
Would I have grown on you?
Hm, I guess we'll never know

And now I'm growing on ya
Yeah, I know what I said
I'm not delusional but it plays out in my head
Will we wed or will this end before it even begins?
Until I find my voice, I'll sit alone and keep shedding skins
