[Verse]

Counting wrinkles on my face with a daring kind of glee

Laugh lines tell my stories but they don’t tell all of me

Chasing youth like fireflies I can’t catch anymore

I don’t know how to act my age I’ve never been this old before

[Chorus]

Teeter on this tightrope stumble on what’s next

Carrying the questions with a heart that won’t forget

I’m a map with no directions lost upon the shore

I don’t know how to act my age I’ve never been this old before

[Verse 2]

Trading stars for morning light while shadows tend to grow

Feeling bold but slightly weary with a strength I barely show

Old songs sound much sweeter through this season I explore

I don’t know how to act my age I’ve never been this old before

[Bridge]

Seconds hand keeps pointing like it’s laughing in my ear

Time’s a prankster slipping fast while whispering what’s near

Go ahead call me foolish I’ll still dance across the floor

I don’t know how to act my age I’ve never been this old before

[Chorus]

Teeter on this tightrope stumble on what’s next

Carrying the questions with a heart that won’t forget

I’m a map with no directions lost upon the shore

I don’t know how to act my age I’ve never been this old before

[Outro]

Someday I might get it or I might just leave it be

Reckless in my wisdom and bewildered where I’ll see

This life is still a riddle this adventure I adore

But I don’t know how to act my age I’ve never been this old before
