[Verse 1]
In between, just a fling, in the rain
In between, in 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 up in 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
In a Napa Valley vacation
In between, home, town and a neon city
In between, underestimated, overexpectated
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 dressed up in 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
[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 up in 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
[Outro]
In the end, in between
In the end, in between
