Transformations

Something happens when you grow up

I can’t hardly stand myself

I got giddy when he said he liked me

It took a toll when he took a job out of town

Why do I get sentimental?

Love is better incremental

I fall hard and I fall fast

Learn to sip it like a fine wine

Let it unfold like a timeline

Not so much a plane to catch

Before I know it, I’ll be past it

Transformations like to happen when you’re not looking

First step, teach me how to dance jitterbug

Then I’ll find a job, then I’ll join a club

Or I’ll just watch the stars

I’ll learn how to lose the race and feel fine

Stand on my feet, one step at a time

We don’t work like remote control cars

When my Grandmother was sixteen

In the mirror, she cried thinking

Life was passing her by

Twenty-three when she quit smoking

The convenient store was closing

She hummed a hymn and drove right by

Before she knew it, she was past it

Transformations like to happen when you’re not looking

First step, teach me how to dance jitterbug

Then I’ll find a job, then I’ll join a club

Or I’ll just watch the stars

I’ll learn how to lose the race and feel fine

Stand on my feet, one step at a time

We don’t work like remote control cars

Before you know it, you’ll be past it

Transformations like to happen when you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking

When you’re not looking
