Never Grow Up Lyrics

Lyric discussion by emilysingsomethingsweet 

I've had this on repeat for the last half hour and haven't stopped crying in that time. It switches from an imploring message to her little brother/her younger fans to appreciate their childhood to focusing on her own longing for her childhood back. I really wish I'd never grown up too, and never had my heart broken or been otherwise hurt. The line about Dad coming home breaks my heart. I try and remember every day how it felt to give my dad a hug when he got in and the smell of his suit; now I'm seventeen and would give anything to go back to when my only worry was being called a nerd in class. I took so much for granted and wanted more than anything to grow up and live my own life, and now I'm preparing to go to college and leave it all behind forever. Taylor has a gift of capturing what everybody feels and making it so beautiful you cry.

I'm 12, but this song still makes me cry, cuz I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone. its so sad.
