Verse 1:
In these corners like cocoons lined with respiring relics
I study phonetics subtleties of facial expressions were we happy here?
How will it end?
Without a song a man aging got a friend and the road don't bend
Pre-Chorus:
I am governed by your image it instills in me
A fraud, a greed, an inability to remain happy, to be content
Cause there's nobody else I'd rather torment
I want you to do all the things that I couldn't do
To laugh with the depth of your stomach like you used to
Chorus:
Can't you see?
You're growing older too
And time has caught up with you
Can't you see?
I'm growing older too
But I'm not the same as you
Verse 2:
I tried to don that heavenly white, and I try to dispel the calling of Hyde by night I feel the summon
Insidious and negligent, it sullies a man
Like I've never been enough as I am
I've loathed people that have loved themselves
I can't be happy if I can't be myself
Paranoia controls me
Will you set me free?
Am I enough as I am?
Chorus:
Can't you see?
You're growing older too
And time has caught up with you
Can't you see?
I'm growing older too
But I'm not the same as you
Bridge:
Please don't say you love me
Don't say you're sorry
I know better than to believe you
And I deserve no better
Keep running, faster
You're almost free, believe me
Chorus:
Can't you see?
You're growing older too
And time has caught up with you
Can't you see?
You're growing older too
And time has caught up with you
Can't you see?
I'm growing older too
But I'm not the same as you
