Intro:
[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 dressed all ribbons and all curls
and sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl"
I'm 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 overexpectated
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 dressed all ribbons and all curls
and sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl"
I'm 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 that 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 dressed all ribbons and all curls
and sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl"
I'm 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
