[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
