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 and 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 nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
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 p.j.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
And 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 than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight 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
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
I 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
Don't you ever grow up
Just never grow up

 “Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ”-Chili Davis

As I walk past by similar streets I grew tired of them realizing that I’ve been through a lot.
 Slowly, a piece of candy no longer makes me happy, a hug makes me too emotional, life gets harder, I no longer long for a cup of hot chocolate for it’s too sweet, a balloon is just a plastic inflated with hydrogen, I’d rather sleep than laugh and socialize with people, I think that may childhood dreams are stupid and unreachable, I am growing up.

The reason why I love Taylor swift’s song NEVER GROW UP because it makes me dream again, it makes me feel how being a child is important how growing up is inevitable but I can always go back and smile how beautiful it is to be a kid. How a piece of candy is more than enough for me to be happy, how a hug is everything, how beautiful life is when you aim silly dreams with an excited heart like everything else is possible, how a balloon isn’t just a piece of plastic filled with hydrogen for it is happiness on a string floating in the air, how my friends is my keeper I must talk with them, how I wish I’d 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” This part of the song made me love it. It made me wish that I could go back and tell myself to do it, to not rush things, to be happy because someday, you will wish to have it back.

Whenever I listen to this song, each line makes my heart smile, it gives me hope and makes me realize that it is really true that change is the only permanent thing in this world, that I must enjoy every moment and treasure it because today is once in a life time. What’s done has been done no replays no rewind just play. I must keep the kid in me alive. This world and time is too cruel for not giving us a chance to stay in a moment so we must grab and cherish it forever.

“This world may require you to grow up, never let the kid in you die.” –PatMonse



"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.” –Taylor Swift
