Taylor Swift - Never Grow Up

Lagunya Taylor Swift yang ini bercerita tentang seseorang yang merasa kesepian baru pada saat dia jauh dari keluarganya. Padahal waktu masih di deket keluarga, dia pengen banget buat keluar dari rumah secepatnya. Mirip banget sama cerita perasaan aku ini.


Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in and turn on your favorite nightlight

Jadi di awal lagunya, dia memberi pesan-pesan sama adek bayi yang lagi tidur itu. Pesannya soal menikmati hidup dan waktu bersama keluarga dan bagaimana semua waktu itu cepat banget berakhir tanpa disadari. Dia juga bilang, kalau masih kecil itu rasanya semua masih menyenangkan dan indah, tapi setiap anak kecil nggak pernah punya kesabaran untuk menikmati masa kecilnya. Semuanya pengen tumbuh dewasa secepat yang mereka bisa.

To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you
Wont 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 mama's dropping 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 she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your PJs getting ready for school

Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

It could stay this simple
No one's ever burned
Nothing's ever left you scarred
Even though you want to, just try to never grow up


Nah, bagian terakhir ini yang paling menyentuh dan paling bikin sedih kalau dinyanyiin sama dia. Ditambah kekuatan vokal dan musiknya Taylor Swift yang nggak pernah mengecewakan, bagian ini selalu bikin aku berlinangan air mata tiap kalo mendengarnya. Benar-benar sama dengan perasaan aku waktu sampai di Medan dan sendirian tanpa keluarga.

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what is sounded like what your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I had 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 nightlight 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
It could still be simple

(Chorus:)
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heat
And even thouh you want to, please try to never grow up
Don't you ever grow up

Sesuatu itu baru bisa terasa berharga kalau kita sudah kehilangannya

Just never grow up
