Quarter Life Chrysalis

I would crawl out of my skin just to reach you

Lyin' on a king mattress made for me and you

And the ocean between us

But I bury my pride, germinating like a seed does

I'm droppin' leaves like a cold front's comin'

We lock eyes and then I take off stumblin'

No, I haven't hit a stride yet

Chronically late, but you swear you don't mind it

I am new to this, do you recognize me?

In a chrysalis, hangin' somewhere in between

If I ever grow up, will I ever grow out of this?

I think I'm gonna love you in every metamorphosis

So if I ever grow up, could you stay here, just like this?

I start to fall out of my head when I see you

Who I am becomes a blip in the rearview

But you know how to keep me contained

When the borders dissolve, your hand's on my waist

I am new to this, do you recognize me?

In a chrysalis, hangin' somewhere in between

If I ever grow up, will I ever grow out of this?

I think I'm gonna love you in every metamorphosis

So if I ever grow up, could you stay here, just like this?

You once said that you can't wait another day to be older

Tell your grandkids the same damn old stories over and over

I once feared that, but not anymore

'Cause if I ever grow up, I hope I never grow out of this

I know I'm gonna love you in every metamorphosis

And if I never give up, baby, you and I will still get our kicks

Fall in love over nothing, catchin' pantry moths in the kitchen

So if I ever grow up, could we stay here, just like this?
