Grew up Slower
Dylan Schneider Lyrics

She grew up on the side of the road
She grew up in a small town, away from the luxuries of the urban life

Where the church bells ring
The town is small enough for the sound of church bells to resonate through the area

And strong love grows
It's a place where strong love and relationships develop and thrive

She grew up good
Her upbringing instilled good values and principles in her

She grew up slow
Her innocence and pureness allowed her to grow up without being rushed into adulthood

Like American honey
Her upbringing is comparable to the slow, sweet, and pure nature of American honey

Steady as a preacher
She is unwavering and steadfast in her beliefs and actions, like a preacher

Free as a weed
She is free like a weed, growing and thriving without constraints and limitations

Couldn't wait to get going
She was eager and excited to explore the world

But wasn't quite ready to leave
She also had reservations about leaving behind her comfortable and nurturing hometown

So innocent, pure and sweet
She possessed a sense of childlike innocence, purity, and sweetness

American honey
Her personality and character are reminiscent of American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
There is a mysterious and alluring force calling out to her

Blowin' in the wind
It's like a whisper carried by the wind, making it difficult to ignore

Callin' out my name
The force is personal and seems to be beckoning her specifically

Like a long lost friend
The force feels comforting and familiar, like an old friend she hasn't seen in a long time

Oh, I miss those days
She reminisces about the simpler and happier times

As the years go by
The passage of time makes her nostalgic for the past

Oh, nothin' sweeter than summertime
She fondly remembers the joys of summer

And American honey
Her memories of summer are intertwined with her upbringing and the sweetness of American honey

Get caught in the race of this crazy life
The fast-paced and demanding nature of life can be overwhelming and stressful

Tryin' to be everything
The pressure to be successful and perfect can be exhausting

Can make you lose your mind
The stress and pressure can have negative effects on one's mental health

I just wanna go back in time
She desires to go back to the simpler and happier times of her childhood

To American honey
To go back to the sweetness and purity of her upbringing

Gone for so long now
She has been away from her hometown for a considerable time

I gotta get back to her somehow
She feels a strong need to return to her hometown and reconnect with her roots

Nothin' sweeter than summertime
She still cherishes the memories and experiences of summer

And American honey
Her love for her hometown and the sweetness of her upbringing is still strong

Ooh
An expression of emotion and sentimentality
