Life in a song

So everyone knows what "Taylor Swift freaks" we are (or at least Kaelin is). Taylor Swift has a song out that is just so appropriate for where we are right now in our life. My sweet sister asked me if I had heard that song and even though we have the CD, I just had not listened to it yet. Once I did, I just wanted to start bawling like a big baby.

The song is "Never Grow Up" and it is just so sweet.

Your little hands 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 nightlight
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 noboby 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
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 nightlight on
wish I'd never grown up
I wish Id never grown up
Oh I don't want to grow up
wish I'd never grown up
I could still be little

Oh darling don't you ever grow up
don't you ever grow up
it could still be simple
won't let noboby 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
