I wish I'd never grow up :"

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 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  

No, 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 PJs 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 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  

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 through to you want to  

Please try to never grow up
 

Don't you ever grow up  

(Never grow up)  

Just never grow up

-Never Grow Up, Taylor Swift-
