Getting Older In A Modern Time

Yeah, I like to live my life like a novel

Keep filling pages up 'til they're all full

But I don't understand how I got here again

At the end of another chapter

I like to live my life like it's a novel

But I'm getting older

Like my bones are about to break

And time is getting younger

Like the seasons, we're meant to change

But the distance between where I want to be

And where I am right now, it looks so open wide it

It makes me feel behind

I guess that's getting older in a modern time

I grew up somewhere on a dead-end

Sometimes a solid ground can still cave in

But I came and I saw from these deep canyon walls

To the waves as they roll off the ocean

Now I find myself somehow at a dead end

Yeah, I'm getting older

Like my bones are about to break

And time is getting younger

Like the seasons, we're meant to change

But the distance between where I want to be

And where I am right now, it looks so open wide

It makes me feel behind

I guess that's getting older in a modern time

I know I'll find a way to find what I've needed to say

The pain can't be erased, just leave it on the page

Yeah, I'm getting older and my hair is growing thin

And I'm not getting any younger, but it always comes around again

And the distance between where I want to be

And where I am right now, it looks so open wide

I feel so far behind

I guess that's getting older in a modern time

Yeah, that's getting older in a modern time
