Never Grow Up..

So many of you know how much in LOVE I am with Taylor Swift. Hate her or not, I don't care. I think she is extremely talented and has amazing song writing abilities. Well, Monday her new album came out and I was beyond thrilled because it had leaked online 4 days early so I was able to get a first listen.

So here I am sitting in bed, listening to the song 'Never Grow Up' .. needless to say after the first verse I was hysterical in tears. Chris just looked at me like I was INSANE.. But I had to play it over for him so he could understand why I was crying.. It was really the first verse that got to me..

I uploaded the song from youtube.. it's not a video. so just leave it in the background while you're reading the lyrics.. so sweet.

Never Grow Up <--- Click Me!

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 nightlight
To you, everything is funny.. you got nothing to regret. I'd give all I have honey if you could stay like that
Oh darlin don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up.. Just stay this little
Oh darlin 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 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
Don't lose the way that you dance around in your PJ's getting ready for school

Oh darlin don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darlin 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 know 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

I wish I'd never grown up

Oh darlin' don't you ever grow up

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

Just never grow up..


Now do you see why I was bawling??

you could never understand how much you can love someone until you have a baby of your own, you finally understand how I feel about you and you are going to be 27 years old, it doesn't change. love you J Bell
