We Got Old This Year

(album: Subtitles For Feelings - 2023)

We got old this year
You said on the couch
Almost caviler
Like it didn't weigh a thousand pounds
And I felt the crush of faith and fear
My love, we got old this year

The night that Charlie died
He took a piece of me
To the other side
I kissed him on the cheek
And we took one last walk
Around my mind
The night that Charlie died

Yesterday we were kids
Looking forward to this
Now we're driving too fast
To see the places we're at
And I'm so unprepared
I feel young I feel scared
To admit to myself that it's here
We got old this year

This anxiety
The voices in my head
All I sound like me
I look at you instead
And I decide I don't believe
This anxiety

Yesterday we were kids
Looking forward to this
Now we're driving too fast
To see the places we pass
And I'm so unprepared
I'm too young I'm too scared
To admit to myself that it's here
That we got old, we got old this year
Yeah we got old, we got old this year
Said we got old

We got old this year
Happened overnight
It just showed up here
Did we let go of the kite
And watch it float so high
It disappeared
My love, we got old this year
