I Just Wanted You to Get Old - Nataly Dawn

I just wanted you to get old

Like the army green Volvo and the toys we sold

Like the books that you read me and the jokes you told

I just wanted you to get old

I just wanted you to get old

Like vacations in Tahoe and your skiing poles

The ones I held onto tightly till you said let go

Oh I just wanted you to get old

And I’m sorry that I never get around

To picking up the phone or staying home

I swear to God that I must be the worst person I’ve found

Tell me would it be too late to appreciate you

I’m so sorry

I’m so sorry

Cause I still want you to get old

Please forgive me I know it doesn’t always show

But I’ll try to be better if you don’t let go

Oh I just want you to get old
