《We Grew up a Little Bit》歌词

[00:00:00] We Grew Up A Little Bit (LP Version) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:07] We got married early and just a little bit late

[00:00:15] Baby came too early but some things just can't wait

[00:00:22] We were just beginning but it was very clear

[00:00:29] We grew up a little bit that year

[00:00:40] I caught on as a meter man you were caught at home

[00:00:47] When I started night school you ended up alone

[00:00:54] But you had another baby while I had my career

[00:01:01] And we grew up a little bit we grew up a little bit

[00:01:08] We grew up a little bit that year

[00:01:15] They put me in an office job a young man on the move

[00:01:22] We bought a house in Shaker Heights you supervised the move

[00:01:29] We were cashing checks you were changing children

[00:01:33] While I played engineer and we were growing ever faster every year

[00:01:48] I got bored of kilowatts you were tired of kids

[00:01:55] I started staying out at night and soon that's what you did

[00:02:01] At parties we'd go separately you'd wiggle and I'd leer

[00:02:08] And we were growing faster we were growing ever faster

[00:02:16] We were growing ever faster every year

[00:02:23] You learned to live in silence I learned to live in lies

[00:02:30] And we both ignored the empty spaces growing in our eyes

[00:02:36] Your breath became a gin and tonic mine became a beer

[00:02:43] And we grew up a little more last year

[00:02:50] Today at work they passed me by and promoted John instead

[00:02:56] I came home to find you'd wrecked the car I guess I lost my head

[00:03:03] Well I can't believe I hit you but the rage came on so strong

[00:03:10] Ah where did we go wrong

[00:03:25] As you sit there crying I wonder who you are

[00:03:31] The partner stranger friend and foe who's come with me this far

[00:03:38] We stand here in the ashes and I guess it is quite clear

[00:03:44] We did not really grow too much each year

[00:03:58] So you say we're going nowhere well I know that's where we've been

[00:04:06] Still I can't help wondering can we begin again

[00:04:12] I feel so full of questions curiosity and fear

[00:04:18] But could we grow a little bit Could we grow a little bit

[00:04:26] Can we grow a little bit this year
