Raven's POV

"This next song is called Grow as we go." Freya says as the next song plays then

Freya starts singing.

You say there's so much you don't know
You need to go and find yourself
You say you'd rather be alone
Cause you think you won't find it tied to someone else

Oooh-Who said it's true
That the growing only happens on your own?
They don't know me and you

I don't think you have to leave
If to change is what you need
You can change right next to me
When you're high I'll take the lows
You can ebb and I can flow
And we'll take it slow
And grow as we go, ooh
Grow as we go, ooh

You won't be the only one
I am unfinished, I've got so much left to learn
I don't know how this river runs
But I'd like the company through every twist and turn

Oooh-Who said it's true
That the growing only happens on your own?
They don't know me and you

You don't ever have to leave
If to change is what you need
You can change right next to me
When you're high I'll take the lows
You can ebb and I can flow
And we'll take it slow
And grow as we go, ooh
And grow as we go, ooh
And grow as we go, ooh
And grow as we go, ooh

I don't know who we'll become
I can't promise it's not written in the stars
But I believe that when it's done
We're gonna see that it was better
That we grew up together

Tell me you don't wanna leave
Cause if change is what you need
You can change right next to me
When you're high I'll take the lows

You can ebb and I can flow
And we'll take it slow
And grow as we go, oh
And grow as we go, oh
And grow as we go, oh
And grow as we go, ooh

"I love her songs, but it sucks they're having to be publicized like this." I say.

"I know." Freya's Mom says then she squeezes my hand as the next song plays

A couple seconds later Freya starts singing.

I just need some time, I'm tryna think straight
I just need a moment in my own space
Ask me how I'm doin', I'll say, "okay"
Yeah, but ain't that what we all say?
Sometimes I think back to the old days
In the pointless conversations with the old me
Yeah, back when my momma used to hold me
I wish somebody woulda told me

If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
If you want love, if you want love

Yeah, as a kid I used to think life
Is moving so slow, I watch it go by
Look out the window on my bus ride
I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes
I've always tried to control things
In the end that's what controls me
Maybe that's why I'm controllin
I wish somebody woulda told me

If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
If you want love, if you want love
