I always was afraid That I would die young I'm too old for that now Where has the time gone? There's a sad song That lives in all of us It comes out when we cry And reminds us how to trust
The house that I grew up in When I was a kid Don't look the same lately As it once did Maybe I'm just growin older Or it's just growin small But the house that I grew up in Don't remember me at all
I'm not complainin of days left behind I'm just lookin for somethin To slow down the time
We're old people dying And young people too There's a gravestone awaitin For me and for you Well that doesn't scare me Not as much as before When I was invincible Right before this new war
My friends who've grown older Right next to me Some are still the same Some have broken free But both are okay And it's plain to see Life is just what you make it When you're not asleep
I'm not complainin of days left behind I'm just lookin for somethin To slow down the time
I've been a brother A son and a friend I only hope to grow better Before my days end We all have this moment In our memories Wont you think about that next time That you feel lonely
I'm not complainin of days left behind I'm just lookin for somethin To slow down the time
