In Between

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In-between just a fling and a ring In-between an apartment and a front porch swing In-between cheap and fancy, a guitar and a Grammy In-between reckless and responsibility [Chorus] Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend Sometimes I'm a princess dress, all ribbons and all curls And sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl" Dumb enough to think I know it all Smart enough to know I don't Young enough to think I'll live forever Old enough to know I won't [Post-Chorus] (In-between) [Verse 2] In-between beer and a basement and a Napa Valley vacation In-between hometown and a neon city In-between underestimated and over-expectated Who I was and who I'm gonna be [Chorus] Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend Sometimes I'm a princess dress, all ribbons and all curls And sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl" Dumb enough to think I know it all Smart enough to know I don't Young enough to think I'll live forever Old enough to know I won't [Post-Chorus] I know I won't [Bridge] I'm half head up in the clouds Half feet down on the ground 'Cause it ain't as simple As a number sittin' on a page When they say "act your age" But you're stuck there in the middle [Chorus] Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend (Sometimes I'm her friend) Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend (Sometimes I play pretend) Sometimes I'm a princess dress, all ribbons and all curls And sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl" Dumb enough to think I know it all Smart enough to know I don't Young enough to think I'll live forever Old enough to know I won't [Post-Chorus] (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) In the in-between (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah, in the in-between [Outro] Hey, sweet pea, it's Mama (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I just wanna let you know that I love you Thinkin' about you, missin' you while you're on the road Can't wait to see you when you get back (Hey, yeah, yeah)
