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

New year; fresh start.

Happy new year everyone! yayy. 

News years eve isn't my favorite time, i don't really see the point of the excitement. and i'm the type of person who has to see the point in something to enjoy it. But news years day i love :) :) it's always the day where i reflect on what has happened. some memories i wish i could erase forever, and others i wish i could go back an relive forever. i'll share a couple of those with you..

I want to go back to Fall Weekend, not to fix anything, just to be with those girls 24/7 again and be at Rockbridge(if you've been there you understand why i wanna go back). another memory i want to go back to, would be the weekend i spent with kari, katherine, and paige. those girls i have written a blog about before and i could spend every waking moment with them, and also the night i spent with my sister at college, i love spending time with her! and the last memory favorite is just spending time with my family, i love the nights where we watch movies, and jam out to music, i just love spending time with them.

Many people make new years resolutions, but for me i don't. I sound negative saying this but, i never keep them and i don't want to announce a resolution if i know that i will not keep it. so this year i'm forgetting about things that made me cry, hurt, and mad and moving forward. instead of trying to make a resolution to fix them i'm moving on and not going to back to that memory.  

So this year, i'm living in the moment, not looking to the future but dwelling in the moment. Not hoping for something, or trying to rush a relationship, but loving that relationship at the point its at.

i'm looking forward to a fresh start this year, to things that will make me laugh, to things that will make me hurt yet i know i will grow from, and to maturing in so many ways. 




So heres to a fresh start.
