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 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] 'Cause 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 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, sitting 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 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 In the in between, yeah In the in between [Outro] Hey sweet pea, it's momma I just wanna let-cha know that I love you Thinking about you, missing you While you're on the road Can't wait to see you when you get back
