All Grown Up

IVY
Hi...

NADIA
If you say so...
I can't believe you missed rehearsal again, y'know,
It isn't all about you!
It affects the rest of us, what you do
Look, what is wrong with you?

IVY
Nothing...

NADIA
What, did my brother break your heart ? Huh ?
'Cause it sure broke mine when I found out he was seeing you.
Poor Ivy, stuck wanting the one thing she can't have

IVY
You think you know me...

NADIA
Yeah, you know what?
I am so sick of you moping around when you've had
The world handed to you because you're pretty
I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat

IVY
Remember back in 7th grade
Endless games of truth or dare
Double dates to Shay's arcades
When I close my eyes I'm there
I think my mother took this picture
Back when were all just friends
Memories that fade and flicker
Burn again when I pretend

PETER
Did you sleep with her ?

JASON
No...

IVY
Life is short and life is strange
Trouble now and troubled past
Times have changed they rearrange
And little girls grow up so fast
Feel it how it grows inside me
Swirling ball of anguished cries
Haunted daunted so unwanted
Feel its anger in me rise

Dream a dream then dash another,
Life is there to interrupt
Someone out there call me mother
Look at me, Mom, all grown up

All the tears she scrimped and saved
Now of course it comes to this
If only Ivy had behaved
Or learned to stop at just a kiss
It hits me paralyzing shudder
Face the music take a bow
Just another unwed mother
One more sad statistic now

Dream a dream then dash another
Life is there to interrupt
Someone out there call my mother
Look at me, I'm all grown up
Look at me, I'm all grown up

Little lies and big decisions
Who to tell and where to go?
Follow someone else's vision
Or trust my own 'cause I don't know
Am I suppose to love this child?
Is it just that simple then?
Tell me how this change will happen
Tell me how and tell me when
Tell me how and tell me when

Dream a dream and dash another
Life is there to interrupt
Someone out there tell my mother
Look at me, I'm all grown up

Story ends in total damage
It's an unforgiving world
Seventeen, how will I manage?
How can I? I'm just a girl...
