I wanna wake up, if this is all a dream
Cause there are monsters
And they talk and they whisper
In the places I can't see
I don't wanna fake it
With a chip on my shoulder
Cause when I glance in the mirror all I see
Is a man that is older
Couple more grays than yesterday
And couple less than tomorrow
Couple more cracks in my driveway
I got no more cash to borrow
Older, I keep getting older
With nothing to show
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta go
Colder, the world keeps getting colder
No shoulder to cry on
No one to rely on
I just keep getting older, yeah
Don't wake me up
If this is all there is
I'm alarmed, I'm afraid, I'm ashamed
Of the place I'll raise my kids
I need to wash this down
Cause it's a tough pill to swallow
Uncertainty and tragedy, it's a pharmacy
And the drugs that keep me hollow
Couple more funerals than yesterday
And a couple less than tomorrow
I'm not the same man as my wedding day
I've seen my share of sorrows
Older, I keep getting older
With nothing to show
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta go
Colder, the world keeps getting colder
No shoulder to cry on
No one to rely on
I just keep getting older, yeah
Yesterday was new year's, tomorrow is halloween
Daydreams and cross beams in a broken slot machine
Sticks and stones may break your bones
And a cutting word may bring you low
But maybe we'll get back up
Yesterday was new year's, tomorrow is halloween
Daydreams and cross beams in a broken slot machine
Sticks and stones may break your bones
A cutting word may bring you low
But maybe we'll get back up
Oh maybe we'll get back up
Older, I keep getting older
Jesus, I just need you Jesus
When it's my time to go
All I've given away, is all I have to show
Jesus, I just need you Jesus
My shoulder to cry on
My one to rely on
I just need Jesus, yeah
