I wrote diaries when I was eighteen
My words wandering no near poetry or roses
Cause it was broken
Woke from a dream, now in my twenties
The seasons were long but my grass is green in Eden
My roots have deepened
If we're not growing we're just dying
Life is fair when it's easy come easy go
When I'm deep under the waters
I know I'm only getting stronger
Rowing gently, oceangoing
Ups and downs, it's a natural thing I know
Like the trees that went through the cold
Now they're blooming like gold
When she was younger
Couldn't know better
Still just a kid so everyone let her be
Time has passed, everything's faded
But looking back, she can't help but hate it
Wants to erase all her mistakes
I wish she'd know that it's okay cause
If we're not growing, we're just dying
Life is fair when it's easy come easy go
When you're deep under the waters
Just know you're only getting stronger
Rowing gently, oceangoing
Ups and downs, it's a natural thing you know
Like the trees that went through the cold
Now they're blooming like gold
Blooming like gold
Blooming like gold
Now they're blooming like gold
