Knots

Early September
I'll change with the weather
And put on my big girl shoes
Pack it all in a suitcase
Say goodbye to your old ways
I never liked trying something new

Knowing that everything won't be the same
Leaving the faces I see every day
Feels like I'm trading the sunshine for rain

My stomach's in knots, a chokehold
Learning how to grow up gets so old
And I have my reasons to go with the seasons
But there'll never be a fall so blue
Lying to myself in secret
Put my panic on the shelf and leave it
And to be honest, I'm never cautious
But leaving in August feels to soon

A creature of habit
Don't do well with the rapid change
I'm ashamed, I'm afraid and I'm hoping it fades

Knowing that everything won't be the same
Leaving the faces I see every day
Feels like I'm trading the sunshine for rain

My stomach's in knots, a chokehold
Learning how to grow up gets so old
And I have my reasons to go with the seasons
But there'll never be a fall so blue
Lying to myself in secret
Put my panic on the shelf and leave it
And to be honest, I'm never cautious
But leaving in August feels to soon

I'm getting tangled
From every angle
Been looking for angels
To leave an impression
A sense of direction
I'm getting tangled
From every angle
And it might be painful
To leave an impression
A sense of direction
But everybody's gotta grow up someday

My stomach's in knots, a chokehold
Learning how to grow up gets so old
And I have my reasons to go with the seasons
But that doesn't stop me missing you
