lyrics
Growing up isn't fast
In fact, it's so slow that you don't see it happen
I turned around one day to find
I work a job and I need to file taxes
But I still like fun
And I still like games
And I still wanna know all the dinosaurs' names
Dinosaurs were just really, really big chickens
Growing up is just being a really big kid
I don't feel old, and I don't feel together
Or like I'm one of the herd
I feel like I just missed a whole week of class
Where they learned how to cook and how not to be awkward
I need a YouTube tutorial
That shows how to get me the life that I'm after
I'm just gonna be that one girl who will tell you
That thing's too big to be a velociraptor
Dinosaurs were just really, really big chickens
Growing up is just being a really big kid
Time goes by quickly now
A lot has changed since I was a kid
There used to be something called a "brontosaurus"
And dinosaurs didn't have feathers, but now we're pretty sure that they did
Covered in feathers, weird
It's gonna be OK
Dinosaurs were just really, really big chickens
Growing up is just being a really big kid
In fact, it's so slow that you don't see it happen
I turned around one day to find
I work a job and I need to file taxes
But I still like fun
And I still like games
And I still wanna know all the dinosaurs' names
Dinosaurs were just really, really big chickens
Growing up is just being a really big kid
I don't feel old, and I don't feel together
Or like I'm one of the herd
I feel like I just missed a whole week of class
Where they learned how to cook and how not to be awkward
I need a YouTube tutorial
That shows how to get me the life that I'm after
I'm just gonna be that one girl who will tell you
That thing's too big to be a velociraptor
Dinosaurs were just really, really big chickens
Growing up is just being a really big kid
Time goes by quickly now
A lot has changed since I was a kid
There used to be something called a "brontosaurus"
And dinosaurs didn't have feathers, but now we're pretty sure that they did
Covered in feathers, weird
It's gonna be OK
Dinosaurs were just really, really big chickens
Growing up is just being a really big kid

Standing Stones is one of the best albums I have ever listened to. Every song on it is excellent, and some are just some of the best songs I’ve heard. I can’t even pick a favorite song between Bones, Independence, Hope, Vespers... really all of them. Just listen to it. Thank you for releasing this incredible album.
