Grow Up To Be You

(album: Time - 2019)

I don't want you growing up to be me
Given everything to chase my dreams
You don't have to worry yet
I can hold you close
When she throws away your teenage heart
When you pass the test but crash the car
Big boys have to cry sometimes
It's okay if you do

If you need me, I'm here
Just gonna love you the best that I can
And if you call me at 4 AM
I'll be there, I'll be right there

So go and tear this world apart
'Cause I know you'll do it
With your momma's heart
And all that I ask is don't grow up to be me
Grow up to be you

I know that I'll catch you stealing liquour from me
'Cause I remember doing the same at sixteen
Wake you on the bathroom floor
Make sure you're alright

'Cause when you need me, I'm here
When you get in trouble I'll steer you clear
And when you call me for a lift home
I'll be there, I'll be right there

So go and tear this world apart
'Cause I know you'll do it with your momma's heart
And all that I ask is don't grow up to be me
Grow up to be you
If you get lost among the stars
Don't forget you've always got your momma's heart
And I don't wanna push you, whatever you do
Grow up to be you

Now there's a reason and a rhyme for most things
But you should try to find your own in everything
And take your time, there's no rush to grow up

So go and tear this world apart
'Cause I know you'll do it with your momma's heart
And all that I ask is don't grow up to be me
Grow up to be you
If you get lost among the stars
Don't forget you've always got your momma's heart
And I don't wanna push you, whatever you do
Grow up to be you
No, I don't want to push you, whatever you do
Grow up to be you
