Intro:

The realest song I ever wrote

The truest words I ever spoke

Yo

Through my growing pains

Verse 1:

I was a growing pain in the arse with a growing pain in my heart

In drama class I was always playing a part

And the thing that set me apart from everyone else

Was that I tried so hard for everyone else

Mostly socially inept, insecure and slightly retarded

Most people had grown up around me, I hadn't even started

My GCSEs werе a horrible experiеnce

And I was still delirious when Dad had departed

When you refuse to realize that people find you repulsive

You soon learn the hard way and in your mind, all the closeness -

You ever felt soon begins to evaporate

Too little too late, it'll just have to wait

And when you suffer a loss, it's the final nail in the coffin

I feel the pain to this day and I blame myself often

It's as though we've split apart and gone our separate ways

But still I pray for your health and that you'll find better days

Chorus:

Til infinity - after everything we've been through

I promise that I'm gonna make it up to you

Til infinity - and beyond forevermore

I'll be paying you back as I'm laying this track

Til infinity - I hope what I used to be like

Ain't still what you think I'm like in the back of your mind

Til infinity - and beyond forevermore

The list keeps growing, the pain keeps showing

Verse 2:

I had an opportunity in higher education

To make something good of my life before the final destination

Along the way I fell in love, a deer in the headlights

So preoccupied with love I forgot what true love felt like

I'd have done anything for her, make no mistake about it

But my mistake about it was I left my mates out of it

And I dove in too deep to the point I nearly drowned

I feel like I've Iet people down and can't reach higher ground

My brain hurts and my heart bleeds, a haemorrhagic aneurysm

Because of my general mannerisms

I bunny hopped across too many lines I know I should have toed

I wouldn't blame you one bit if you had told me where to go

But I'll remember you though for the rest of my life

And though we had a shaky ride, we still had amazing times

And I pray you're living larger in a happier vicinity

And the opinions you have of me aren't all finicky

Chorus:

Til infinity - after everything we've been through

I promise that I'm gonna make it up to you

Til infinity - and beyond forevermore

I'll be paying you back as I'm laying this track

Til infinity - I hope what I used to be like

Ain't still what you think I'm like in the back of your mind

Til infinity - and beyond forevermore

The list keeps growing, the pain keeps showing

Verse 3:

My life's a constant state of character development

Where someone gets treated cruelly or put down like an elephant

So I built a circle around myself stronger than Everglade

And spat more bars than most man would ever raise

But I'm still trying to figure out the man I wanna be

So I wanna start off on the right path with an apology

Under this thick exterior is manic hysteria

I panic, I get frantic and I feel inferior

Part of becoming a man is owning up to those occasions

Where you could have acted different and been part of the equation

There's a new PanthaDogg in town, the old one's dead

I have to learn to cope with my regrets like Hov once said

I guess along the way I forgot to keep it 100

And dug too many holes till I was nearly 50 foot under

I can't change who I was, but I've changed who I can be

When you fall, the only way is back up on your damn feet!

Chorus:

Til infinity - after everything we've been through

I promise that I'm gonna make it up to you

Til infinity - and beyond forevermore

I'll be paying you back as I'm laying this track

Til infinity - I hope what I used to be like

Ain't still what you think I'm like in the back of your mind

Til infinity - and beyond forevermore

The list keeps growing, the pain keeps showing

You fucked up, Owen

Outro:

Scratching away the surface

To find something new and different underneath

Rewinding the tape

Oi
