Never Grow Up

Music has been my world & what I do since I was just a little girl. There is something about it that just makes me come alive. Love to sing it, love to hear it, love create it-- it all just makes my heart a little more satisfied. My favorite is hearing a song from another artist & it is like they wrote the song just for you. Like the artist has been peering through the windows of your heart & took your raw thoughts and feelings and made it beautiful. I had that moment this afternoon. 


Life has been really hard lately, I am realizing that God gives & takes away. Sometimes he gives when you least expect it & it is the most exciting & marvelous moments of your life; then there are the times that He takes away and you are not prepared or ready to lose what you have. The moments that your heart's aching for more time & pleading to change destiny.


So if your driving & look over and there is a blonde headed girl crying & trying to gain her composure its only because she is just hearing her thoughts come to life-- it finally hit a chord, her inner thoughts of her heart just came to life & made beautiful music. Even in pain there is beauty. 






Never Grow Up-- T. Swift
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

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
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

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, just 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
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder that 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
