Never Grow Up - [Lyrics]

[Dillon]

never grow up


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 fourteen, 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
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
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
on, Never grow up
Just never grow up
