Grow

JJ Heller addresses grief through weather rather than naming it directly in "Grow" — "why did the rain go away, was it something I said... stubborn cloud, I watch you rolling past, what would it take for you to cry at last?" The cloud becomes a stand-in for someone holding back tears they need to let out.

"Don't be afraid to let your feelings show, if we dry up, then we won't grow" states the song's actual argument through the same weather image — growth requires the rain, not sunshine alone, treating sadness as necessary rather than something to just get past. "You've stolen the joy that I had, every last drop down the drain" admits real loss without specifying its cause.

"Isn't the load that you carry heavy, isn't it time to let it down already" closes the song on a direct, gentle question rather than an answer — permission to finally cry, offered without insisting on exactly when or how.
