Aaron Dessner - Robin Never Grow Up Lyrics

[Part I: Robin]

[Verse 1]
Long may you reign
You're an animal, you are bloodthirsty
Out window panes talking utter nonsense
You have no idea

[Pre-Chorus]
Strings tied to levers
Slowed-down clocks tethered
All this showmanship
To keep it for you in sweetness

[Chorus]
Way to go, tiger
Higher and higher
Wilder and lighter
For you

[Part II: Never Grow Up]

[Verse 1]
Your little hand's 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
[Pre-Chorus]
To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

[Chorus]
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
And even though you want to
Please try to never grow up

[Part III: Robin]

[Post-Chorus]
Way to go, tiger

[Bridge]
You have the dragonflies above your bed
You have a favorite spot on the swing set
You have no room in your dreams for regrets
You have no idea
The time will arrive for the cruel and the mean
You'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline
Before now we'll curtail your curiosity
[Part IV: Never Grow Up]

[Bridge]
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

[Part V: Robin]

[Chorus]
Way to go, tiger
Higher and higher
Wilder and lighter
For you

[Part VI: Never Grow Up]

[Chorus]
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
Oh, don't you ever grow up
Please never grow up, you can 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 though you have to
Please, try to never grow up
[Part VII: Never Grow Up / Robin]

[Outro]
Oh, oh, way to go, tiger
Oh, oh, wilder and wilder
