Grow
Rae Morris & Tom Odell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your hair on my skin
As we lie here within
The night
I'll pull the sheets
When it's cold on your feet
Cuz you'll fall back to sleep
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
And our hands they might age
And our bodies will change
But we'll still be the same
As we are
We'll still sing our song
When our hair ain't so blonde
And our children have sung
We were right
They'll sing
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
And the hairs they stand up
And my feet start to thump
Yer the feeling is dreaming
Around
You'll be the one
Make me hurt, make me come
Make me feel like I'm real
And alive
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I

Rae Morris has such a beautiful voice. It's ethereal, soaring and absolutely stunning.

I just heard this song for th first time three weeks ago. I was on vacation in Hawaii, sitting on the beach at sunrise smoking a bowl, with my ear buds on listening to YOUtube music on random play. It was a beautiful moment.
@andystanley4400
I was at this gig. I will never forget this song. Spine-tinglingly good 😍
@noahmcdx1
Wow, all you people bashing Tom. Tom made this song have some folk feel to it. It's my favorite rendition of any of Rae's songs.
@noahmcdx1
Oh my, this is the first time I've actually listened to either of these two, but this sound that they have together is otherworldly. If they collaborated for an album, I genuinely think it would be one of my favorite albums ever.

This performance is the reason I fell in love with Tom Odell's music. I have been a massive fan of Rae Morris since she began, and when I saw/heard Tom for the first time in this performance, I thought he sucked. Then, for weeks I could not stop singing this version, like his voice was haunting me. Looked into his music, and fell madly in love with his style. I've seen him twice in concert here in the States. If only Rae could headline here. She is just so INCREDIBLE.

I agree....saw them both perform last night at the Electric Ballroom, Tom was absolutely incredible and it was the first time I'd ever heard Rae, she has a beautiful voice and I loved her songs too......two fantastic artists.
