Dermot Kennedy - Outgrown Lyrics






So we'll call it all believing in the art
There's evidence and remnants of a spark
Strong belief there'll be a better part
When the hoping ends (When the hoping ends)
All these memories get written in the scars
Now every dream is left among the stars
Force that dreaded raven to depart
When the snow begins (When the snow begins)

I'll be all out lonely if you all outgrow me
To know with all of this potential should have raised up but I never did
Scared the stars won't show me, if you all outgrow me
I know every road I run down has a sundown, that's the way it is

So, I try to chase those days but never catch them
I'll try to walk the other way and learn detachment
Raise the eyes you save for me and all the laughter
You used to hold me in
I'll just let go of love that others dreamed and captured
I'll never know another feeling like the rapture
I'm gonna go, I gotta be here in your absence
Now, this poem has ended

I'll be all out lonely if you all outgrow me
To know with all of this potential should have raised up but I never did
Scared the stars won't show me, if you all outgrow me
I know every road I run down has a sundown, that's the way it is

That's why I'm let down, let down, honey
That's why I'm let down, let down, honey

That night, that drive, felt like every single wolf was around us
That night was so quiet, felt like all the trees were keeping the sound out
So hold me right, I'll pray
That I'll promise you this moment will come
Oh, alright, got a pretty way of keeping the sound out

I'll be all out lonely if you all outgrow me
To know with all of this potential should have raised up but I never did
Scared the stars won't show me, if you all outgrow me
I know every road I run down has a sundown, that's the way it is

That's why I'm let down, let down, honey
(All the trees were keeping the sound out)
That's why I'm let down, let down, honey
(Pretty way of keeping the sound out)

  1. J.... S....

    This is probably one of my favorites on the album. Aside from Moments Passed.

  2. G.... N....

    This songs lyrics reminds me of Ben Howard’s the fear.. pondering where success will go., both great songs..

  3. J.... C....

    Venezuela free to dictator maduro

  4. S.... S....

  6. 6.... ....

    Brilliant!!! 💜🙏🏻☀️✨🌸

  7. D.... B....

    Perfect 💥👍👍

  8. A.... B....

    Can we discuss the "meaning" or references in this song? I may be wrong.

    The dreaded raven? Referring to edgar allan Poe's raven that quoths above the door "nevermore!" That same raven that haunts him as he slips into depression after losing his wife, lenore?

    When the snow begins - referring to different songs, specifically "an evening I will not forget" and "island fires and family" he says he was having a great time in the summertime, when the evenings are long. When winter comes just like his island fires video, its foggy, lacks visibility and depressing.

    Am I overanalyzing this? Got more?

  9. B.... T....

    When I find a bad song from you bro I'll be amazed ....you kill everything that you sing...your on a fast pace to the top....just remember to slow down sometimes and spend some time enjoying life, and relax for yourself and those close to you. Your killing it ❤🙏🙏🙏

    D.... T....

    It took five years for him to just get out from bustling his ass singing in the street before even get recognize in Spotify, three years later here we are. No he deserves to be on the top as fast as it needed to be.

  37. S.... ....

    I wonder why couldn't tell is not on the album... To me that is his best song by far. The chorus is so well written and hypnotic to the bone. Still gonna buy the album today though. Ow yeah (couldn't tell is on the deluxe album ev1! ♥️)

    S.... ....

    Couldn't tell is my favorite or one of my favorites...

    S.... ....

    @Jade Santana found out its on the deluxe album! Sadly dont see the deluxe album on www.dermotkennedy.com but it is available on the internet 😉 It contains 4 more songs. Glory, Young & Free, Couldn't tell and For Island Fires and family ♥️

    S.... ....

    @SystemExclusive So perfect!

    S.... ....

    Wow! I love Malay but this is FANTASTIC!

  41. D.... v....

    Love it

  42. S.... a....

    I betcha, this guy is gonna go big.

  43. J.... A....

    Hello Grammy??? Best new artist for the Grammy please? Even tho he's not a "new" artist but...to the Grammys he is!! Very deserving❤️🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏼️🔥

    J.... A....

    Jill A please!!! give the man his accolades!!!!!

    J.... A....

    Only losers are grammy winners🙊

    J.... A....

    I def agree dudes amazing person inside and out and his music shows

  44. C.... S....

    Aaah this music will get me through work all day tomorrow! Thank yooooo!

  45. H.... ....

    Hopefully we will hear how Malay evolved into Outgrown. He usually explains his songs at concerts I guess it's time to look up dates to his next show

    H.... ....

    They are 2 different songs. He left Malay off his record. Or am I missing something?

  46. A.... K....

    The Song is awesome 👍👍❤️

  47. S.... H....

    I wonder what "rapture" feels like. It must be something otherworldly. Out of all the songs in the album, this, Lost and The Corner feel the most like me. Every lyric is so well crafted and relatable. I can physically feel the effort it must have taken to be so bare with your words and I love you all the more for it.

  48. J.... T....

    Vocais perfeitos ♡♡

  49. M.... ....

    Well done mate

  50. R.... S....

    Did anyone else notice how the verses sound similar to the Malay tune? 😱

    R.... S....

    It's what Malay evolved to become. Malay as it was online appears not to exist anymore, at least according to this

    R.... S....

    @Daniel Baluyot Honestly love both versions. This man is a legend ❤️

    R.... S....

    I thought that too

  51. O.... C....

    Written in the scars....

  52. N.... O....

    'I know every road I run down has a sundown, that's the way it is'.
    This made me writers heart beat faster. I love this song!

  53. M.... M....

    What a lovely voice 😊

  54. D.... N....

    Amazing 💫

  55. O.... H....

    Simply stunning. 🙏🏽
