Keaton Henson - Grow Up With Me lyrics

Grow up with me

Let's run in fields and
Fear the dark together
Fall of swings, and burn special things
And both play outside in bad weather

Let's eat badly
Let's watch adults drink wine and
Laugh at their idiocy
Let's sit in the back of the car
Making eye contact with
Strangers driving past
Making them uncomfortable not caring
Not swearing don't fuck

Let's both reclaim our superpowers
The ones we all have and
Lose with our milk teeth
The ability not to fear social awkwardness
To panic when locked in the cellar
Still sure there's something down there
And while picking from pillows each feather
Let's both stay away from the
Edge of the bed, forcing us closer together

Let's sit in public
With ice cream all over both our faces
Sticking our tongues out at passers by
Let's cry let's swim
Let's everything

Let's not find it funny
Lest someone falls over
Classical music is boring
Poetry baffles us both
There's nothing that's said is what's meant
Plays are long, tiresome, sullen, and filled
With hours that could be
Spent rolling down hills
And grazing our knees on cement
Let's hear stories and both lose our inocence
Learn about parents and forgiveness
Death and morality, kindness and art
Thus losing both of our innocent hearts
But at least we won't do it apart

Grow up with me
