[Bridge]

The clock it t

icks
             
I have to get 

older

When I wake up
              
And the dream 

  
is over

Packed away
          
My life moving

 slower
            
Oh I'd hate to

         
 get any older
            
Oh I'd hate to

        
 get any older

           
Do you wanna b

e
(The clock it ticks, I have to get older)
          
Like your fath

er?
              
The older you 


get
(When I wake up and the dream is over)
              
Your head's ge

       
ttin' hotter
           
Pick up the ph

one
(Packed away, my life moving slower)
            
When he calls 

you
             
Oh I'd hate to

            
 get any older
             
Oh I'd hate to

           
 get any older

   
   

[Outro]
             
I always knew 

    
I'd let you go
            
Have to see yo

 
u die to grow
             
Don't you let 

              
them tell you 


who you are
            
Hope that as y

         
ou keep collec

ting scars
             
You never know

           
 my pain
