Getting Older

Oh my friend it's so hard to see you so down Commiserating, it's complicated I've found Ain't no aeroplane ride to take you where you need When your lover's arms make your fingernails bleed Sure, they're strong and they're full of emotion But suffocating in their devotion You weren't old enough to love her like you could now Beautiful girl who wrote you letters, you didn't need her around You've been prayin' for this year to be over Heaven's been calling you when you were sober Cryin' late at night in the seat of your car Seems like Heaven ain't been calling you so far The leaves are falling, the tree limbs exposed They blanket the ground so that green things can grow Arms extending, your limbs exposed Your lips are parting, you're getting older The lines on your face, while they gently impose Love, the pressure's abating You're getting older The leaves are falling, the tree limbs exposed They blanket the ground so that green things can grow Arms extending, your limbs exposed Your lips are parting, you're getting older The lines on your face, while they gently impose Love, the pressure's abating You're getting older You're falling asleep with your skin exposed Neath these knotted sheets, yeah you're getting older You're getting older, You're getting older You're getting older, You're getting older You're getting older, You're getting older You're getting older, You're getting older You're getting older, You're getting older You're getting older, We're getting older too
