Growing Up Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

They say boys don't cry 

But your dad has shed a lot of tears 

They say I should be a strong man 

But baby, I'm still filled with fear 

Sometimes I don't know who I am 

Sometimes I question why I'm here 

I just wanna be a good dad 

Will I be? I have no idea 

 

They say girls shouldn't be tough 

And moms should raise their kids at home 

But baby, I know that that isn't true 

Cause your momma's the toughest person I know 

 

I wanna raise you to be like her 

And watch you show the world how to do it on your own 

I'm still tryna figure out who I am 

I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong

I'm gonna be there for your first breath 

I don't know if I'll be there for your first step 

I can promise you that I'll try to work less 

But the tour's routed, and I got this album 

Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome 

 

To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of 

Don't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTime 

But I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time 

 

I won't spoil you, you can trust that 

For your sweet sixteen, you get a bus pass 

Had your heart broken? Been there, done that 

I love you and I can't give you enough of that 

Get back to community that raised you up 

Read Langston Hughes, I suggest "A Raisin in the Sun" 

Listen to Sam Cooke, a change gon' come 

You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my love 

 

Don't try to change the world, find something that you love 

And do it every day 

Do that for the rest of your life 

And eventually, the world will change 

 

I'll be patient, one more month 

You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb 

Times are changing, I know 

But who am I if I'm the person you become 

If I'm still growing up, up, up, up 

I'm still growing up, up, up, up 

I'm still growing up 

 

I recommend that you read "The Alchemist" 

Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus 

Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence 

And every day, give your momma a compliment 

 

Take your girl to the prom 

But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo 

Slow dance with your woman in your arms 

Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe 

Don't wake your mom up 

Do yoga, learn 'bout karma 

Find God, but leave the dogma 

 

The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selfless 

Ask more questions, talk about yourself less 

Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac 

Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop 

 

Wear a helmet, don't be stupid 

Jaywalk, but look before you do it 

If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help 

Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts 

 

Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance 

You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance 

Take risks, cause life moves so fast 

You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance 

 

I'll be patient, one more month 

You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb 

Times are changing, I know, but who am I if 

I'm the person you become 

If I'm still growing up, up, up, up 

I'm still growing up, up, up, up 

 

I'll be patient, one more month 

You'll wrap your fingers round my thumb 

Times are changing, I know 

But who am I if I'm the person you become 

If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up 

If I'm still growing up, still growing up, still growing up 

 

I'm still growing up 

I'm still growing up, ooh 

I'm still growing up 

I'm still growing up
