Liner Notes

This didn't really go the way I expected, or accomplish what I was aiming for. but, here we are. Putting it out into the world anyways.

Getting old ain't bad! Growing up is dumb. Maybe that's the song I meant to write.

Lyrics

When did I become such an old man
I tried so hard you know I tried to plan
to hold on to my youth indefinitely
I didn't think that time would catch up with me

nothing could prepare me nothing could prevent
time from coming for me much to my discontent

I should have seen this coming miles away
I should have seen this coming knowing it would soon be my day
I should have seen this coming that's what they say
now it's here I have no fear that somehow I'll be okay

aches and pains I didn't have before
takin all these meds I don't know what for
I'm not done yet I still want more
I'm not gonna let my body keep score

nothing could prepare me nothing could prevent
time from coming for me much to my discontent

I should have seen this coming miles away
I should have seen this coming knowing it would soon be my day
I should have seen this coming that's what they say
now it's here I have no fear that somehow I'll be okay

I'm as ready as I'll ever be
I'm keeping pace with the best of me
the bar is higher than it's ever been
i don't intend to let time win

I should have seen this coming miles away
I should have seen this coming knowing it would soon be my day
I should have seen this coming that's what they say
now it's here I have no fear that somehow I'll be okay
