You’ll often hear people say things like:
“I’ll be happy when XYZ happens…”
-OR- “I’ll be happy when I get this job…”
-OR- “I’ll be happy when I have X amount
of money…”
This idea of growth always seemed so one-sided; so one-dimensional; so non-conducive to real happiness (whatever that is)....
[Verse 1]
Sugar be sweet
The world doesn't sleep
When you’re falling apart
And once in a while
Prince Charming won't smile
In fact he won't show up at all
[Pre-Chorus]
So you and I should be
Human beings
And not just pieces, pieces
In a puzzle we can’t read
Don't you wanna go outside?
[Chorus]
Until we're gone baby gone
Grow baby grow
Don't leave it all for the other side
Just love baby love
Don't you let go
Hanging out for another line
[Verse 2]
Pull back the sheets
The worlds that we see
Don't always look the same
And where words have no place
And time has escaped
Ooh, that's where our hearts connect
[Pre-Chorus]
So you and I should be
Human beings
And not just pieces, pieces
In a puzzle we can't read
Don’t you wanna go outside?
[Chorus]
Until we’re gone baby gone
Grow baby grow
Don't leave it all for the other side
Just love baby love
Don’t you let go
Hanging out for another line
[Bridge]
And maybe it'll be clear when we get there
Why we always want what we used to have?
And maybe it'll be clear when we get there
‘Cause even flowers bloom
On the dark side of the moon
[Chorus]
Until we're gone baby gone
Grow baby grow
Don’t leave it all for the other side
Just love baby love
Don't you let go
Reaching out for another line
Until we're gone baby gone
Grow baby grow
Don't leave it all for the other side
Just love baby love
Don't you let go
Reaching out for another line

“Grow” was special for us because it’s the only song on the album where the music came first. I had been on a Bee Gees binge and was inspired by a recent trip home to Houston. After hearing my mom and dad regale stories of the disco era and their love for wah-guitars when they were young, I knew ins...
