It's easy to understand the meaning of this song, just by listening to its lyrics. Hearing this song for the first time i cried.
It's about, when your young, you've made no mistakes and life is simple. But you still want to grow up. By the done you've grown up you have many regrets and have been scarred, and everything you thought you had was one day gonna be gone.
Here's the lyrics:
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger and it's so quiet in the world tonight.
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreamin' so I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light.
To you, everything's funny. You got nothing to regret.
I'd give all I had, honey, if you could stay like that.
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up.
Just stay this little.
Oh, darlin', 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.
No one will desert you, just try to never grow up.
Never grow up.
You're in the car on the way to the movies and you're mortified your mom's droppin' you off.
At 14, there's just so much you can't do and you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots.
But don't make her drop you off around the block; remember that she's getting older too.
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your PJ's, getting ready for school.
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up.
Just stay this little.
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up.
It could stay this simple.
No one's ever burned you.
Nothing's ever left you scarred.
And even though you want to,
just try to never grow up.
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.
So here I am in my new apartment in a big city, they just dropped me off.
It's so much colder than I thought it would be so I tuck myself in and turn my night light on.
Wish I'd never grown up.
I wish I'd never grown up.
Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up.
Could still be little.
Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up.
It could still be simple.
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up.
Just stay this little.
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up.
Could stay this simple.
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.
Oh, don't you ever grow up.
Just never grow up.

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God, he hears you
And pray to God, he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Me personally, I never wanted to grow older. I'm not trying to stop it; I know physically I will age, but mentally I'll stay young. Regardless of how old you are, you still can enjoy life you just need to make it enjoyable.
