We Grew Up A Little Bit Lyrics - Harry Chapin

We got married early 

And just a little bit late 

Baby came too early 

But some things just can't wait 

We were just beginning 

But it was very clear 

We grew up a little bit that year 

I caught on as a meter man 

You were caught at home 

When I started night school 

You ended up alone 

But you had another baby 

While I had my career 

And we grew up a little bit 

We grew up a little bit 

We grew up a little bit that year

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

They put me in a office job 

A young man on the move 

We bought a house in Shaker Heights 

You supervised the move 

We were cashing checks, you were changing children 

While I played engineer 

And we were growing ever faster 

Every year 

I got bored of kilowatts 

You were tired of kids 

I started staying out at night 

And soon that's what you did 

At parties we'd go seperately 

You'd wiggle and I'd leer 

And we were growing faster 

We were growing ever faster 

We were growing ever faster every year

You learned to live in silence 

I learned to live in lies 

And we both igored the empty spaces 

Growing in our eyes 

Your breath became a gin and tonic 

Mine became a beer 

And we grew up a little more last year 

Today at work they passed me by 

And promoted John instead 

I came home to find you'd wrecked the car 

I guess I lost my head 

Well, I can't believe I hit you 

But the rage came on so strong 

Ah, where did we go wrong? 

As you sit there crying 

I wonder who you are 

The partner-stranger-friend and foe 

Who's come with me this far 

We stand here in the ashes 

And I guess it is quite clear 

We did not really grow too much 

Each year 

So you say we're going nowhere 

Well I know that's where we've been 

Still I can't help wondering 

Can we begin again? 

I feel so full of questions 

Curiosity and fear 

But could we grow a little bit 

Could we grow a little bit 

Can we grow a little bit this year?
