Noah Kahan – Growing Sideways lyrics (Live from Fenway Park)
Verse 1
So I took my medication and I poured my trauma out
On some sad-eyed, middle-aged man's overpriced new leather couch
And we argued about Jesus, finally found some middle ground
I said, "I'm cured"
Verse 2
And I divvied up my anger into thirty separate parts
Keep the bad shit in my liver and the rest around my heart
I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them
But it's a start
Pre-Chorus
But I ignore things and I move sideways
'Til I forget what I felt in the first place
At the end of the day, I know there are worse ways to stay alive
Chorus
'Cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
I guess I'll drive
I guess I'll drive
Spoken Post-Chorus
"Alright, Boston!"
Verse 3
So I forgot my medication, fell into a manic high
Spent my savings at a Lulu, now I'm sufferin' in style
Why is pain so damn impatient? Ain't like it's got a place to be
Keeps rushin' me
Pre-Chorus
But I ignore things and I move sideways
'Til I forget what I felt in the first place
At the end of the day, I know there are worse ways to stay alive
Chorus
'Cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
I guess I'll drive
Bridge
And, if all my life was wasted
I don't mind, I'll watch it go
Yeah, it's better to die numb than feel it all
Woah, if all my time was wasted
I don't mind, I'll watch it go
Yeah, it's better to die numb than feel it all
Pre-Chorus
But I ignore things and I move sideways
Until I forget what I felt in the first place
At the end of the day, God knows there are worse ways to stay alive
Chorus
Oh, 'cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
I guess I'll drive
I guess I'll drive
Spoken Outro
"Thank you so much! Ha."
