The Older You Get (Acoustic)

Lookin' in the mirror and you don't look the same Girls from your past getting new last names High school friends burning out like their cigarette Guess that's what happens the older you get Start to wish you could've been 16 forever 'Cause you know your favourite band ain't getting back together And the nights you don't remember are the nights that you'll never forget Guess that's what happens the older you get Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh And oh, that's just the way it goes, oh Life's goin' good, but you wonder what's after 'Cause dad's moving slower and time's moving faster You hug a little tighter and you say the things you never said Guess that's what happens Sometimes the cancer goes away, and sometimes it don't So, now, when your mama calls, you always pick up the phone And you talk a little longer 'cause tomorrow is not a sure bet Ooh-oh-oh Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh And, oh, that's just the way it goes, oh Ooh-ooh-ooh Guess that's what happens the older you get (Ooh-ooh-ooh) oh, oh-oh The house you grew up in is now gettin' sold And a box full of memories is worth more than gold You close your eyes one last time in your childhood bed Guess that's what happens, what happens, oh Home was a place, now home is a person And you're lookin' at rings 'cause you swear that you're certain And the best day of your life becomes the day that the two of you met Guess that's what happens the older you get Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh And, oh, that's just the way it goes, oh And, oh, that is just the way it goes, ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa And, oh, that's just the way it goes
