Lyrics Not Today - Growing Backwards

Sometimes
Growing up feels like growing backwards
I shift back on my defenses
To protect myself from the world's offensive

I've had enough of people
Who keep telling me
That I should just give it a rest
I'm inundated with outdated advice on what is best

This world is ours and ours for the taking
Run with the wolves
We won't seal our fate
And we'll use what we've got
And we'll make it good
It's only just beginning

We're at the base of the mountain
Won't stop until we reach the horizon
Made our own path
And we made it good
I knew that we could

So it seems I'm growing out of the skin
I was born in
I'll be different
Better and more consistent

With the way
I correct all my flaws
I'm opening up all the doors

Nothing's going to take this one
Away from us
It's what makes us who we are
And in that we trust

There's no time like the present
To make this right
There's no time like the present
So let's make it/this right tonight
