I am running From the thought of growing older than I am It's not so funny I think about it when I'm caught up in a jam When I'm not watching Life likes to pull me in directions I had never dreamed I'd go But dreams are weary They tend to fade away the older I grow Time keeps racing It's slipping right through my hands I'm going crazy It feels like I may be older than I am Time keeps racing It's slipping right through my hands I'm going crazy It feels like I may be older than I am Every morning I sip on coffee just to feel like I'm alive The same old story Clock starts ticking down another nine to five Been taking sick leave Just to day dream of the things I could have had Been feeling angry For falling victim to a life I had never planned Time keeps racing It's slipping right through my hands I'm going crazy It feels like I may be older than I am Time keeps racing It's slipping right through my hands I'm going crazy It feels like I may be older than I am (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands) (Time keeps racing and it's slipping right through my hands)

Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na-na-na Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older Payphone calls, cigarettes, injuries, shower sex I was holding on for dear life Complicated, understated, on the way to devastated We were young and out of our minds Right now, I'm sorry Burns through me, darling But I can't help think in 30 years it won't So, maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll run out of stories about you, yeah Maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll know what it's like not to love you anymore Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na-na-na Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older Playing house, immature, picking out furniture Praying that our hearts would play fair Emotional souvenirs, fleeting moments, golden years Close my eyes and I go back there Right now, I'm sorry Burns through me, darling But I can't help think in 30 years it won't So, maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll run out of stories about you, yeah Maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll know what it's like not to love you anymore Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na-na-na Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na-na-na Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm six feet Underneath the concrete I'll know what it's like not to want you, yeah Maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll know what it's like not to love you
