“Grow Up”, as the title implies, is a song where Hayley asks people to grow up and open their minds. She calls out for people to open up to others and accept everyone for who they are. She told MTV News about the meaning of the song:
There seemed to be this thread in my brain about people who just...
[Verse 1]
I told 'em all where to stick it
I left town with a dime to my name
Said I'm done with all of my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game
Got my band and a light that won't go out
Been burning since the day I was born
So I'll cry just a little, then I'll dry my eyes
'Cause I'm not a little girl no more
[Chorus]
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind
[Verse 2]
Stood in line for so long just to picket
Something I won't ever understand
Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world?
Won't you just admit you don't care?
And, lady, I don't want your pity
So don't feel sad for me
I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
Maybe we're both just living out our dream
[Chorus]
And some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind
[Bridge]
We get along for the most part
Me and reality, the light and the dark
We live alone, two different worlds
Me in a fantasy, you in your memories
But we get along
We get along (For the most part)
We get along (Yeah, for the most part)
We get along (For the most part)
We get along
We get along, we get along
[Chorus]
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind (Leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind (Leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes (We grow up, never grow old)
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes (We grow up, never grow old)
And so, if I have to, I'm gonna leave you behind
Grow Up was written by Taylor York & Hayley Williams.
Grow Up was produced by Taylor York & Justin Meldal-Johnsen.
In an interview with M Magazine, Hayley said that this song set the tone for the album.
That one happened by accident as well. Taylor and I were trying to write, and nothing was happening. He started running his hand along the guitar strings in frustration—and that turned into a riff. I suggested w...
