Grow Up Not Old - Una Healy

Back when I was seventeen

I’d say all I wanna be

Was twenty-one and having fun

I was free and I was young

I met you at twenty-three

We filled our heads with crazy dreams

Get a house and settle down

Can’t believe that time is now

People say you gotta change one day

You gotta act your age

Well I wanna grow up

But I don’t wanna grow old

I wanna look in your eyes

Like the first time

And always be as young as we are tonight

We don’t have to grow old

We don’t have to grow old

There’s always things you gotta do

That you don’t want to

But that don’t mean that we can’t laugh

And dance all night like we used to

It’s 2am, the baby’s crying

We’re swaying to a lullaby

People say you gotta change

Well I wanna grow up

But I don’t wanna grow old

I wanna look in your eyes

Like the first time

And always be as young as we are tonight

We don’t have to grow old

We don’t have to grow old

I don’t care about anyone else, no no no

Why should we stop being ourselves?

Even when we’re grey and old

I’ll still laugh at all your dirty jokes

I’m always gonna hold your hand

I’m never gonna understand why people say you gotta change

Well I wanna grow up

But I don’t wanna grow old

I wanna look in your eyes

Like the first time

And always be as young as we are tonight

We’ve gotta, gotta grow up

We don’t have to grow old

We don’t have to grow old, no

Grow old, no oh yeah

We don’t have to grow old
