Older

You ever think about it
One day we'll be old and slow
Reminiscing on the days
When the sky was low
The clouds were nothing
But the places that we planned to see
Now impossible is possible
It's meant to be
I'm meant to be where I am
I'm meant to leave when my time is up
All I wanted was time but
I understand why we never really had enough
Don't apology when I leave
Just learn from it please
I didn't have many wishes
Time was all that I need
I didn't have much money
So I cooked instead
Banana bread was your favorite
You would please me and beg
Something small on your birthday
Neither happy or sad
But that's, your generation I can't even be mad
Feels like ten years, since we talked on the phone
But its only been five and I been feeling alone
You have so many different numbers
I tried calling again
I hope I get to see your father
Before I'm seeing my end
I used to love the way you listened
When I said we were Irish
Our roots are important
Never forget where our side is
Now everybody's unfamiliar
Or maybe it's me
Or maybe the times approaching
When its time I should leave
Maybe the fight in my blood's
Wearing off from the strokes
But, until I'm gone I'll still be cracking these jokes
The end is near
Tommy I hope that I see you
Regardless of the side
Well I love you and need you
To understand
Life is all what you make
Even though we lost touch
I'll still be holding the gate

So, one day
When we
Get to meet again
I hope
That you
Remember, my face
I said, one day
When we
Get to meet again
I hope
That you
Remember, my face
When we get older
When we get older
When we get older
When we get older
So, one day
When we
Get to meet again
I hope
That you
Remember, my face
I said, one day
When we
Get to meet again
I hope
That you
Remember, my face
When we get older
When we get older
When we get older
When we get older

I hope I never let you down
While I was chasing my dream
I hope I take enough time
To ask about what you've seen
I hope I learn from your mistakes
And to see you soon
Text message from my mom
That says I probably won't
She said you on your final breaths
All the way across the states
And time is mobile we learn
It never waits
Got me choked up
Cause even if I seen you
You wouldn't say Tommy
You would think I'm there clean you
Dementia got you in another zone
What's even sadder is I haven't tried to dial the phone
It hurts to think
That all you wanted was some time
And I never cared enough just to try
You used to pump me full of heritage
What I saw ranting but
Thats my history
That I took for granted
At this moment twelve am on the west
East coast three am, where you're probably at rest
I wonder if you good and
Can make it to see you
Did that final breath hit you
Now I feel like I need you but
That's life, we never want what they give
Grandma I love you, thanks for all that you did
I said, that's life, we never want what they give
Grandma I love you, thanks for all that you did

So, one day
When we
Get to meet again
I hope
That you
Remember, my face
I said, one day
When we
Get to meet again
I hope
That you
Remember, my face

Hey when the time is up
Are you happy to tell your past
Did fear and hesitation
Make your climax crash
Did everything you want
Turn to all that you have
Did you take responsibility
Or blame mom and dad
Did you grow up and work hard
Did you raise you some kids
Did you tuck them in and love them
Or just say that you did
Did you grow to be somebody
That made an impression
Or another human
Diagnosed with depression

So
One day
When we
Get to meet again
I hope
That you
Remember, my face
I said
One day
When we
Get to meet again
I hope
That you
Remember, my face
