Middle Age

Got your middle aged car
And your middle aged garage
Both have been alone too long
For very too long
Spending all those adult nights alone

Hanging out at the bar
Looking for someplace to park your car
Facing what's left of your life alone
There's nothing waiting for you at home

Except wishing you had a home
Wishing things had gone right
Your heart was in the right place
And the end result spits in your face

Just remember that it's drinking
That put you here in the first place
Made your feelings come out wrong
Made your love hear the wrong song

As love turned shallow
Turned hatred in your heart
Just remember that it's drinking
That blew your world apart

How do families last forever
While you can't seem
To hold on to yours

Tried once and again and again
To find that forever friend
To be with to the end
Raising your kids from a failed marriage
Through visits on the weekends

Just two middle-aged folks
Trying to mend their hopes
Of making it one more time

And we'll run out the clock
Listening to classic rock
Watching the time go away
And talk about the good old days
Reflecting on the lows and highs
Until it's time to say goodbye

Without someone to hold
Both have been too lonely to have a home
Just say you'll be mine
And I'll be yours until the day we die
