In Between

In between just a fling in the rain
In between an apartment and a front porch swing
In between cheap and fancy a guitar and a Grammy
In between reckless and responsibility
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
In between beer and a basement
In 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
'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 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
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
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
Hey sweet pea it's momma
I just wanna tell you I love you think about you
Listening to you by your window
Can't wait to see you when get back
