B. R. Leeson - Getting Older Lyrics

Oh my friend it's so hard to see you so down
Commiserating, it's complicated I've found
Ain't no aeroplane ride to take you where you need
When your lover's arms make your fingernails bleed
Sure, they're strong and they're full of emotion
But suffocating in their devotion
You weren't old enough to love her like you could now
Beautiful girl who wrote you letters, you didn't need her around
You've been prayin' for this year to be over
Heaven's been calling you when you were sober
Cryin' late at night in the seat of your car
Seems like Heaven ain't been calling you so far
The leaves are falling, the tree limbs exposed
They blanket the ground so that green things can grow
Arms extending, your limbs exposed
Your lips are parting, you're getting older
The lines on your face, while they gently impose
Love, the pressure's abating
You're getting older
The leaves are falling, the tree limbs exposed
They blanket the ground so that green things can grow
Arms extending, your limbs exposed
Your lips are parting, you're getting older
The lines on your face, while they gently impose
Love, the pressure's abating
You're getting older
You're falling asleep with your skin exposed
Neath these knotted sheets, yeah you're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, You're getting older
You're getting older, We're getting older too
