Story

"Never Grow Up" is a song about the fact that I don't quite know how I feel about growing up. It's tricky. Growing up happens without you knowing it. Growing up is such a crazy concept because a lot of times when you were younger you wish you were older. I look out into a crowd every night and I see a lot of girls that are my age and going through exactly the same things as I'm going through. Every once in a while I look down and I see a little girl who is seven or eight, and I wish I could tell her all of this. There she is becoming who she is going to be and forming her thoughts and dreams and opinions. I wrote this song for those little girls. | ” |

- Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
- And it's so quiet in the world tonight
- Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
- So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
- To you everything's funny
- You got nothing to regret
- I'd give all I have, honey
- If you could stay like that
- Chorus
- Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
- Don't you ever grow up
- Just stay this little
- Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
- Don't you ever grow up
- It could stay this simple
- I won't let nobody hurt you
- Won't let no one break your heart
- And no one will desert you
- Just try to never grow up
- Never grow up
- You're in the car on the way to the movies
Added by Spazzedoutfangirl1 - And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
- At 14, there's just so much you can't do
- And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
- But don't make her drop you off around the block
- Remember that she's getting older too
- And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school
- Chorus
- Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
- Don't you ever grow up
- Just stay this little
- Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
- Don't you ever grow up
- It could stay this simple
- No one's ever burned you
- Nothing's ever left you scarred
- And even though you want to
- Please try to never grow up
- Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
- Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
- Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
- And all your little brother's favorite songs
- I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone
- So here I am in my new apartment
Added by Spazzedoutfangirl1 - In a big city, they just dropped me off
- It's so much colder than I thought it would be
- So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on
- Wish I'd never grown up
- I wish I'd never grown up
- Oh I don't wanna grow up
- Wish I'd never grown up
- I could still be little
- Oh, I don't wanna grow up
- Wish I'd never grown up
- It could still be simple
- Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
- Don't you ever grow up
- Just stay this little
- Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
- Don't you ever grow up
- It could stay this simple
- Won't let nobody hurt you
- Won't let no one break your heart
- And even though you want to
- Please try to never grow up
- Oh
- Don't you ever grow up
- Oh
- Never grow up
- Just never grow up
