in an interview with anna faris on her podcast, ben platt mentions that this song was written with ben abraham, the co-writer, as they were breaking up.
“it ended with us writing a song together about what we both knew was happening – which was that he was asking me to go, that he needed space to g...
[Verse 1]
You say there's so much you don’t know
You need to go and find yourself
You say you'd rather be alone
'Cause you think you won’t find it tied to someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, who said it's true
That the growing only happens on your own?
They don't know me and you
[Chorus]
I don't think you have to leave
If to change is what you need
You can change right next to me
When you're high, I'll take the lows
You can ebb and I can flow
And we'll take it slow
And grow as we go
Grow as we go
[Verse 2]
You won't be the only one
I am unfinished, I’ve got so much left to learn
I don’t know how this river runs
But I'd like the company through every twist and turn
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, who said it’s true
That the growing only happens on your own?
They don't know me and you
[Chorus]
You don't ever have to leave
If to change is what you need
You can change right next to me
When you're high, I’ll take the lows
You can ebb and I can flow
And we'll take it slow
And grow as we go
Grow as we go
Grow as we go
Grow as we go
[Bridge]
I don't know who we'll become
I can't promise it's not written in the stars
But I believe that when it's done
We're gonna see that it was better
That we grew up together
[Chorus]
Tell me you don't wanna leave
'Cause if change is what you need
You can change right next to me
When you're high, I'll take the lows
You can ebb and I can flow
We'll take it slow
And grow as we go
Grow as we go
Grow as we go
Grow as we go
Grow As We Go was written by Ben Platt & Alex Hope & Ben Abraham.
Grow As We Go was produced by Alex Hope.
Ben Platt released Grow As We Go on Fri Mar 01 2019.
I wrote “Grow As We Go” about how desperately I wanted a very special relationship to work despite knowing how much personal growth we both still needed, and to hear that it’s resonating with you guys means the world.
