about

this song is very much as the title suggests, about aging, comparing one's youth and one's elder years. above all, it urges that we live fully.

lyrics

It can be depressing at the end
Sliding down steep descent,
As the beginning was exciting in its gliding
Up a steep ascent
Through endless days ahead
That mostly went unspent,
While now wasting time's a torment
Just like the body's ailments.
Back then it was just broken hearts,
Now it's all of the parts that are coming apart.

Do you take time to feel the sun
At 16 or 61,
Are you ready to die before life's begun?
You cannot find what's magic
If you're blind to what's tragic,
It's only living that takes you to it.

Life is time until I die,
Once time since I arrived,
Time before summer break,
Time before I awake.
Now it's how to spend just one day
Before dreams take me away.
Dreams were of plans ahead,
Now their made of memories instead.
Give me, give me your hand in the cold,
Give me something I can hold,
I don't want to say I'm getting old.

Seasons turn so quickly now
Where once they never changed,
Where once I couldn't wait for change.
Faces avoid my outer face,
Can't you see what I still feel,
That young thing you once wanted to steal?
