[Verse]

Time slipped beneath my feet like sand

Waves of years crashing on dry land

The mirror whispers

"Where'd you go?"

The clock never tells you

It just shows

[Chorus]

Growing old should have taken longer

Like a lazy jazz tune getting stronger

Savor every note in the symphony

But life sped up

Now it's chasing me

[Verse 2]

Laugh lines trace the jokes we told

Memories framed in hearts of gold

But didn't we just start this song?

Who flipped the pages

Made it long?

[Bridge]

Oh

There's a sweetness in the fade

Every love and mess we made

But still

I wish for a slower beat

Something smooth beneath my feet

[Chorus]

Growing old should have taken longer

Like a lazy jazz tune getting stronger

Savor every note in the symphony

But life sped up

Now it's chasing me

[Verse 3]

The sun still sets with a velvet hue

Morning still grins with skies so blue

But the in-between feels like a blur

I blinked

And here we are unsure
