Another Year Older

So your plane was late You missed that date And your horse can't win So you drink another bottle of gin And your shares went down They touched the ground And your best laid plans Have slipped right out of your hands So you think you're fat Well that's a fact But your well ran dry So you had to walk another mile Think about them, think about them Think about those who'll never see another year Think about them Think about those who never saw So your car won't start Needs a special part But you made your choice Now you're stuck with all your big boys toys Now the word's around You've gone aground And you've lost your wind You'll never see your ship come in Think about them, think about them Think about those who'll never see another year Think about them Think about those who'll never see another year Mother's, father's Sister's, brother's Old man, young man Whale song, all gone Where did we go wrong Think about those who'll never see another Those who'll never see another Those who'll never see Think about them, think about them.

So many 25th's of December Just as many 4th of July's And we're still holding it together It only comes down to you and I I know that you can still remember Things we said right from the start When we said that this could be special I'm keeping those words deep down in my heart Another year has gone by And I'm still the one by your side After everything that's gone by There's still no one saying goodbye Though another year has gone by I never been much for occasions But you never let a birthday go by Without announcing how much you love me But the truth was always there right There in your eyes And we're still holding hands when we're walking Acting like we've only just met But, how could that be, when there's so much history I guess that's how true lovers can get Another year has gone by And I'm still the one by your side After everything that's gone by There's still no one saying goodbye Though another year has gone by Another year has gone by And I'm still the one by your side After everything that's gone by There's still no one saying goodbye Though another year has gone by

I should have known, it seemed too easy You were there, and I was breathing blue Strange baby, don't you think I'm looking older? Something good has happened to me Change is a stranger you have yet to know Well, you're out of time, I'm letting go, you'll be fine Well, that much I know You're out of time, I'm letting go I'm not the man you want I should have known, it seemed so easy You were there, I thought I needed you You Strange baby, don't you think I'm looking older? But something good has happened to me Change is a stranger who never seems to show So you're out of time, I'm letting go, you'll be fine Or maybe you won't You're out of time, I'm letting go I'm not the man that you want I never should have looked back in your direction I know they're just the same old fights again, baby These are wasted days without affection I'm not that foolish anymore So you're out of time, I'm letting go, you'll be fine Well, that much I know You're out of time, I'm letting go I'm not the man that you want

I'm not prepared for the future So many things that I just don't know I cut my hair, bought a new shirt New pair of shoes, and it's time to go I finally found an apartment Signed a lease on a car this month I can't go back to the start now, time doesn't slow down I'm on my own Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down the posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Never thought I'd be 20 And 30 don't seem so far away I know I gotta make a little money, then maybe find somebody To call my own Mmm, I'm not ready, but I Can't go back in time I know it's all out of my control, now I know Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over One day I'll be buying posters for my kids Just like my parents did for me, it's never over They'll grow up and soon enough They'll wish that time would just move slower I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down the posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older I'm not prepared for the future So many things that I just don't know I cut my hair, bought a new shirt New pair of shoes, and it's time to go
