Getting Old

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When we were younger, time was under careful lock and key Now it's open, tipped and pouring out all over me Oh, what a shame, that our days, you explained I thought you had meant they were long Not 'til the night when I turned 25, I saw that I had it all wrong [Verse 2] I was getting tired of letting all my hours pass Hoping someday soon or somewhere, everything would last Oh, what a shame, when I look at your frame I know, someday, it will be dust Not that the thought is that close, 'cause it's not But I guess it's just creeping up [Chorus] Oh, and it's not that bad It's all this time we've had Things that could be, became mystery We'll never know instead Oh, we're not too far gone It hasn't been that long Oh, and our empty tea cup is getting filled up So we'll never have to dread getting old Oh, but it's not that bad It's all this time we've had Oh, things that could be, became mystery We'll never know instead Oh, we're not too far gone It hasn't been that long Oh, and our tea cup is getting filled up So we'll never have to dread getting old
