Description
"Grow Up" speaks to a person who in the relationship was pressuring the other to take a different path in life, and to exercise a lifestyle the other wasn't willing to live. The attempt in this song is to show how pushing someone to do something they don't want can ultimately push them away.
Lyrics
Home You've got me running home Except this time I found myself alone When I got home And there, In the letter you prepared You said you weren't sure if I was scared But either way you didn't care And thinking back to everything you told me Now I hear the words you said Based on everything you were demonstrating It seems you waiting Just waiting For me to grow up For me to settle down For me to get you out this one-horse town I don't know how I don't know why It seems all I did was make you cry And I am sorry Just saying I'm sorry Gone You're most assuredly gone And I know it won't be long Till you move on And Home, I'm gonna go and find myself a better one A place with a little more warmth And call it my own And from this truck stop pay phone I am calling To tell you all the places I've seen There's only one problem You were supposed to be Here with me For me to grow up For me to settle down For me to get you out this one-horse town I don't know how I don't know why It seems all I did was make you cry And I am sorry Just saying I'm sorry But if you didn't love me then How can I expect you to love me now That everything has worked out Go on, find yourself And I'll be free To go find me Cause I don't wanna grow up Don't need to settle down Don't care to get you out this one-horse town I don't care how I don't care why Baby we were born to say goodbye And I'm not sorry I'm not sorry I'm not sorry.
