Isabel Dumaa - Price Of Getting Older Lyrics

I wish that it was summer but summer from five years ago
And I wish that I was younger but when I was young I wished that I was old
Now I miss my mother still look for her face in the crowd
Maybe in five years I'll wish I was where I am now

I ain't as young as I was, but I'm still restless
If this is growing up, it's not what I expected
I'm caught in between, who I was and who I thought I'd be
Was I too busy running, to ever look behind
Did I get what I wanted, or let it pass me by
Now I hold more on my shoulders
Then I did when I was younger
What I wouldn't give to look into those eyes
I wish I could've told her
The price of getting older

I know the way by heart, these street signs that I've memorized
But now there's flowers in the yard
And faces in frames that I don't recognize
Every time I go back my home seems to have changed
I worry that it looks at me and it thinks just the same

I ain't as young as I was, but I'm still restless
If this is growing up, it's not what I expected
I'm caught in between, who I was and who I thought I'd be
Was I too busy running, to ever look behind
Did I get what I wanted, or let it pass me by
Now I hold more on my shoulders
Then I did when I was younger
What I wouldn't give to look into those eyes
I wish I could've told her
That's the price of getting older

The field where I learned to drive a car
Is now parking lots and restaurants
If my life was a movie it's like they're cutting out the best parts
I guess the places that made me
Live only in my memory
It's hard to smell the roses once the curtain closes
The moment has passed
The good and the bad
How lucky am I just to feel this sad
Take me back
It all went too fast

I ain't as young as I was, but I'm still restless
If this is growing up, it's not what I expected
I'm caught in between, who I was and who I hoped to be
Was I too busy running, I never looked behind
Did I get what I wanted, or let it pass me by
Now I hold more on my shoulders
Then I did when I was younger
What I wouldn't give to look into those eyes
I wish I could've told her
The price of getting older
