In Between

[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)
