Growing Sideways Lyrics

[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
Oh, 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, Lord knows 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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
