This will all make sense when I am older Someday I will see that this makes sense One day when I am old and wise I'll think back and realize That these were all completely normal events, ah I'll just dream about a time When I'm in my age of prime 'Cause when you're older Absolutely everything makes sense

Hmm, hmm Am I swimmin' To keep from drownin'? Am I runnin' Runnin' to or runnin' from? Have I used you? If I'm honest, maybe sometimes And though my past is far behind me It's still not as far as I want But I will open my arms and I'll fall at your feet And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me I will stand in the light, least as best I can And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am Better than I am It's more a truce (Hmm) Less a surrender It's more a givin' I'm givin' more than I wanna give (Yes) I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me I will stand in the light, least as best I can And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am The road I took to get here Is one I never wanna take again Oh, I'm gonna keep believing And pushin' up to the light The light that pulls me in I will open my arms, I will fall at your feet And I'll let you in to where you can, so damage me I will stand in the light, least as best I can And I'll live like I'm better, better than I am Oh, yeah Hmm

The walls between You and I Always pushing us apart Nothing left but scars, fight after fight The space between Our calm and rage Started growing shorter Disappearing slowly, day after day I was sitting there waiting in my room for you You were waiting for me too And it makes me wonder The older I get Will I get over it? It's been way too long for the times we missed I didn't know then it would hurt like this But I think the older I get Maybe I'll get over it It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this The time between Those cutting words Built up our defenses Never made no sense, it just made me hurt Do you believe That time heals all wounds? It started getting better But it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you I was sitting there waiting in my room for you You were waiting for me too And it makes me wonder The older I get Will I get over it? It's been way too long for the times we missed I didn't know then it would hurt like this But I think the older I get Maybe I'll get over it It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this What was I waiting for? I should've taken less and given you more I should've weathered the storm Need to say so bad What were you waiting for? This could have been the best we've ever had The older I get Will I get over it? It's been way too long for the times we missed I didn't know then it would hurt like this But I think the older I get Maybe I'll get over it It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this Hurts like this I'm just getting older I'm not getting over you I'm trying to wish it didn't hurt like this It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this

The older I get The more I think You only get a minute, better live while you're in it 'Cause it's gone in a blink And the older I get The truer it is It's the people you love, not the money and stuff That makes you rich And if they found a fountain of youth I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet The older I get The fewer friends I have But you don't need a lot when the ones that you got Have always got your back And the older I get The better I am At knowing when to give And when to just not give a damn And if they found a fountain of youth I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet The older I get And I don't mind all the lines From all the times I've laughed and cried Souvenirs and little signs of the life I've lived The older I get The longer I pray I don't know why, I guess that I Got more to say And the older I get The more thankful I feel For the life I've had, and all the life I'm living still
