[Intro – warm guitar plucks + soft reverb] Ohhh… Another morning, same old mirror, Same old “you’ll figure it out someday.” [Verse 1 – gentle, conversational] Scrolling through the highlight reels, Everyone looks like they’re doing fine. But my laundry’s on the chair again, And I’m late for life for the thousandth time. Some days I swear I’m getting closer, Other days I fall behind. I’m learning it’s okay to wobble While you try to walk in your own light. [Pre-Chorus – airy lift] I keep telling myself, “Don’t rush what you don’t know yet.” It’s all part of the mess We grow from, I guess. [Chorus – big, melodic, emotional] ’Cause we’re all halfway growing up, Running fast then tripping up. Trying hard to fake the brave, Smiling through the nights we break. Yeah, we’re all just figuring out What this whole life’s about. No map, no easy route Still we’re moving, somehow. We’re all halfway growing up. [Verse 2 – indie-pop warmth] I’ve got dreams taped on my wall, Some are faded, some still bright. I chase them till I burn out, Then I chase them one more time. My friends say they feel the same, Lost in this weird in-between. Too old to feel like children, Too young to know what anything means. [Pre-Chorus] I keep telling myself, “Go slow, let the pieces fit.” Maybe this chapter’s Supposed to feel like this. [Chorus – full, wide, uplifting] ’Cause we’re all halfway growing up, Running fast then tripping up. Trying hard to fake the brave, Smiling through the nights we break. Yeah, we’re all just figuring out What this whole life’s about. No map, no easy route Still we’re moving, somehow. We’re all halfway growing up. [Bridge – airy synths + emotional tone] And if today feels heavy, If tomorrow feels unsure Just breathe, you’re not behind, You’re right where your heart matures. We’ll get there at our own pace, It’s never really “too late.” [Final Chorus – big, hopeful] ’Cause we’re all halfway growing up, Falling down, then standing up. Trying hard to feel okay, Healing in our messy way. Yeah, we’re all just figuring out What this whole life’s about. If you’re lost, you’re not alone We’re all finding our way home. We’re all halfway growing up.

Halfway Growing Up
