Getting Older - Jukebox the Ghost

Hey, you see the seasons as they’re sliding by

You breathe the air and hold it deep inside

In hopes you can slow things down

Hey, each second passing is a minute late

Every new moment just a cause to wait

For the next one, and the next one, to roll in

I’m not sure that we were put on this earth

With any other purpose beyond our own worth

And you can say that I’m naïve, that I’m so immature

But I’m still getting older and getting older all the time

Getting older all the time

Getting older all the time

Hey, each morning slips in like a hammer’s swing

To slowly drip us into useless things

Like you know you were meant for one purpose (Ooh)

Hey, you think the years that pass you’re counting down

Waiting to drag us all back into the ground

That’s a deadline I won’t argue around

I’m not convinced that we’re only alive

Just for some remnants of ourselves to survive

And you can say I’m a man, so I’ve got plenty of time

But I’m still getting older and getting older

I’m getting older, and older, and older

I’m getting older and getting older all the time

Getting older all the time

Getting older all the time

There’s garbage the ocean and blood in the rain

And the air we breathe is car exhaust, it seeps in our veins

And there’s too many people and not enough space

So what’s the point of dumping some poor kid in his place?

We could just live on the beach, and spend the rest of our days

Watching the sunset, grow lines on our face

Instead of furthering destruction of a sick human race

We could do what we wanna do, and at our own pace

While we’re getting older, and older, and older

We’re getting older, and older, and older

We’re getting older and getting older all the time

Getting older all the time

Getting older all the time

Getting older all the time
