Much Older Now

Growing up is living and its learning. Neon lights in a borrowed town, Laughing loud just to drown it out, Paper crowns on a restless night, Chasing shadows in flickering light. We swore the world would bend our way, That nothing good could ever slip away, But time has teeth and it doesn’t wait, It folds your dreams into yesterday. And every street we used to own, Feels different when you walk alone… We thought ourselves so big Looking so tough, downing another swig See ya, ciao, we're much older now We built our fires just to watch them burn, Said “never again” but we never learn, See ya, ciao, we're much older now Photographs in a dusty frame, Half of us don’t look the same, Promises like cigarette smoke, Fading out with every joke. We ran so fast from growing up, Filling the silence in paper cups, But every echo calls our bluff, Says we never were enough. And every road we said we’d own, Brings us back to walking home… We thought ourselves so big Looking so tough, downing another swig See ya, ciao, we're much older now We built our fires just to watch them burn, Said “never again” but we never learn, See ya, ciao, we're much older now Maybe we weren’t meant to stay the same, Maybe losing is just part of the game, We carry the night in our tired eyes, Learning truth in the goodbyes. We thought ourselves so big Looking so tough, downing another swig See ya, ciao, we're much older now The world didn’t break, it just turned us around, Dropped us softly on different ground, See ya, ciao, we're much older now Yeah… much older now. #newmusic #newartist #indie
