Autumn comes and I can barely breathe
The lover of my life ripped from underneath
I tell my dad "I'm trying the best I can"
I'm on the cusp of becoming my own man
And now comes the part that we so badly want to forget
'Cos when she's gone I just don't know what'll happen next
So what happens next
Eighteen doesn't speak, it only screams
I'm growing up and I don't know what to think
Do as you're told and you better not object
Fall into line, well, this line is such a mess!
I look around and see the faces of those I love
Growing up means leaving, 'cos that's exactly what it does
Pick apart my future and tell me there'll never be anything left
Tell me i'm a failure if I don't comply and be just like the rest
I am so afraid of whatever might happen next
But it's okay to be afraid of what happens next
Little boy moves up to a bigger town
You better learn to swim, or else you'll drown!
New York or Nashville, doesn't matter where you land
It's getting hard to feel okay again
So scared of disappointing all the people that I do respect
I wanna show my parents that I'm alright and I'm one of the best!
I am so afraid of whatever might happen next
But it's okay to be afraid of what happens next
