Never Grow Up

I have been listening to Taylor Swift's new album this morning and I love it, of course! The girl can write some songs. She's not the best singer in the world, but writing music is her thing. She puts so much emotion and feelings in every song and doesn't mind telling the world about her life through her music. Love it. So as I was listening I came across the song, "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 regre/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 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 morified 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 ever's 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 jsut dropped me off/ it's so much colder that I thought it would be/ so I tuck myself in and turn my 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 dont you ever grow up

This song reminds me just how fast time passes by. I can remember so many things from my childhood: people that have come and gone in my life, my first kiss, my first love, friends, vacations, still at home with my parents and siblings, playing with my cousins, my heart breaking, TESTS to study for, sports, mean girls, my salvation, talking on the phone late at night, NO cell phones, etc. I could go on and on, but life was just so simple then. I wish Tay could stay 3 forever! I don't want her heart to break, I don't want her to run into mean girls, I don't want her to have to leave my house one day. I know it's life....I just keep praying to let us all take one day at a time. Bless us and keep us safe
