lyrics

Got older today just talking to you and I guess that might be OK
If all that means is loosening up and not just fading away
I got older today when you told me the truth, you know it’s the truth ‘cause it hurts
When the person you knew peels a layer or two - that’s where the trouble starts

Got older today - closer to death
Got older today - holding my breath
Got older today - closer to death
Got older today - holding my breath

Got older today when you kissed my lips and I knew I wanted to stay
You held up a mirror and things I saw, I knew they wouldn’t go away
Got older today when you opened the door to the happiest days I’ve seen
Looked down a tunnel and saw the end and the life to be lived between

Got older today when you told me the truth and it crushed my heart to paste
You licked your lips and moved right in saying this is too good to waste
Got older today when you entered the room and shed your clothes to the floor
Got lost in the rhythms and scents and sounds wondering who I had been before

Got older today - closer to death
Got older today - holding my breath
Got older today - closer to death
Got older today - holding my breath
Got older today - I’m watching my step
Got older today - I’m losing my grip

(April 2003 - music and lyrics by John Encarnacao)
