Gettin' Older

They only like me when I play the oldies
Or when I'm on stage singin' right to their faces
They don't care 'bout me when I'm online
Tryin' to make a livin' writin' my own rhymes

If I lose the fire inside me, will you like me better?
If I'm just like you, put my dreams into the shredder
Ain't that just what gettin' older is all about?
Gotta dim my light to make you feel a little better 'bout
Yours goin' out

They stop carin' when you're in your twenties
And you've graduated and you should have a 9 to 5
That's when you should get your head outta the clouds
They're all waitin' on you to come crashin' down

If I lose the fire inside me, will you like me better?
If I'm just like you, put my dreams into the shredder
Ain't that just what gettin' older is all about?
Gotta dim my light to make you feel a little better 'bout
Yours goin' out

Silly girl, dreams are for kids
Quit chasin' down a life you'll never live
I lost my spark, my soul went dark and soon yours will too
If it didn't happen for me, it won't happen for you

If I lose the fire inside me, will you like me better?
If I'm just like you, put my dreams into the shredder
Ain't that just what gettin' older is all about?
Gotta dim my light to make you feel a little better 'bout
Yours goin' out
