Joshua Radin and Patty Griffin - You Got Growing Up To Do

The Best of Joshua Radin - 1 of 7


You Got Growing Up To Do
=====================

I've been down this road before
I walk out the door
Leave you on the floor
Sometimes you run and hide
Your foolish prides
What keeps me from giving you more

So the best thing
I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
Cause you got growin' up to do

Some day I'll return when it's time
For payment in kind
The church bells'll chime
You'll stand before me surrounded by lights
Dressed in white
You'll throw flowers in the air
This night

But the best thing
I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growin' up to do

Looks like the rain's pouring down on me
It's drowning me now
All I want is to come back home
This old corduroy coat
It's not keeping me dry
But I can't think of what else to try

That's why the best thing
I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growin' up to do

Now the best thing
I can give to you
Is for me to go
Leave you alone
You got growin' up to do

I love Joshua Radin. Sigh, it's such a shame that he's not so well-known, YET. :>

[marleeniskoel]

I like to dedicate this to my boyfriend.

@ple0627 Why say but? Music is about expression. Not all songs are about happiness. Some songs are about the other part of our lives. Somethings seem happy but end up being quite the opposite, and sometimes are about being strong and realizing that time really does matter. The perfect one might not be so perfect after something in you life changes

It hurts me more but I'm leaving you, Kevin. I may return but you will have to reach out and show me the change in you.

Beautiful harmony between Joshua and Patty. Nice song but a little sad.

@FoxHonda71 these are the same word that guy said to me, when he send this song to me.

[urskaJonas]

About a year ago, guy send me this song. And I was like, such a beautiful song, but then I really listen to it and I realize what he wanted to say

[SillyLene]

I love this song! I remember hearing it almost 2 years ago and at the time I felt like I could really relate to it :) ....and i still might..

[dianacacahuete]

very beautiful song

[petitemoosie]

The only thing that I would change about this song would be to make Patty a little quieter so we can hear JR more clearly (particularly during the chorus)

[alex12431243]

This is for you Stephanie. I left you because I loved you. I still love you to this day. If only you knew.
