Getting Older In A Modern Time

Yeah, I like to live my life like a novel Keep filling pages up 'til they're all full But I don't understand how I got here again At the end of another chapter I like to live my life like it's a novel But I'm getting older Like my bones are about to break And time is getting younger Like the seasons, we're meant to change But the distance between where I want to be And where I am right now, it looks so open wide it It makes me feel behind I guess that's getting older in a modern time I grew up somewhere on a dead-end Sometimes a solid ground can still cave in But I came and I saw from these deep canyon walls To the waves as they roll off the ocean Now I find myself somehow at a dead end Yeah, I'm getting older Like my bones are about to break And time is getting younger Like the seasons, we're meant to change But the distance between where I want to be And where I am right now, it looks so open wide It makes me feel behind I guess that's getting older in a modern time I know I'll find a way to find what I've needed to say The pain can't be erased, just leave it on the page Yeah, I'm getting older and my hair is growing thin And I'm not getting any younger, but it always comes around again And the distance between where I want to be And where I am right now, it looks so open wide I feel so far behind I guess that's getting older in a modern time Yeah, that's getting older in a modern time
