[Lyric] Growing Pains (Lousy Advice)

As a human being
You require the self care of a house plant
With plenty of water
And plenty of sunlight
And lots of attention

As a human being
You require the patience of an airport
With delayed flights
Bad weather
And crowds of angry people

But the work you've done on yourself
And the maintenance you've accomplished

I hope that you're proud
Proud
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
I hope that you're proud
Proud
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

Now you've realized
It takes more than an inch of rain to end a drought
I swam through inches by myself

I hope you realize
That the only way out of this is you
But I'll be there too

Cause the work you've done on yourself
And the maintenance you've accomplished

I hope that you're proud
Proud
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

I hope that you're proud
Proud
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Float along my friend
I'll be there
To help you patch the holes up in your raft
Float along my friend
I'll be there
To help you as you clear your path

So you can float alone

I hope that you're proud
Proud
Whoa

I hope that you're proud
Proud
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa

Whoa
