Just take small steps
Try not to look behind
'Cause you might lose your mind
If you find how far you've gone
I remember running through the yard
In the mud with my brothers
While my dog Gingy
Was standing on the deck
Watching guard as the rain
Was coming down hard
We'd run inside and mom
Would wrap us up in a towel
I dreamt of getting older
But those days are all I think about now
It's funny how that happens
It's not something you'd imagine
And I'm all grown now
But I'm still terrified of
Evading my taxes by accident
And running out of places to hide so
Play this song when I'm older
Before I shoulder
The burdens of my future
And I'll remember the good days
When I'm wiping snot off my kids face
It's not that I don't want it, I do
But it's sad to lose a part you knew so
Play this song when I'm older
And I'll remember her
Through photos of my youth
I'm scared of wrinkles
Is this a wrinkle in time? When it passes
Will it still feel like mine?
Catch me watching Disney on the couch
In our house back on Vinton
Where we'd listen to
My parents fight on and off
I'd stay home with a cough
Saturday's were quiet
Dad would tell us all in private
Of the time he was a pilot and
The tiny plane he flew
That he sold when I was born
I wish we knew what happens when we die
So I'm less scared when time slips by so
Play this song when I'm older
Before I shoulder
The burdens of my future
And I'll remember the good days
When I'm wiping snot off my kids face
It's not that I don't want it, I do
But it's sad to lose a part you knew so
Play this song when I'm older
And I'll remember her
Through photos of my youth
