Lyrics

I used to think that I might be invincible
The exception of my age
but now my lower back gets tired
Doctor says there might be something wrong with it
Could even be a bulging disc
or a nerve that likes to misfire
That's a cost we can't decline
We might find a short term remedy, but we can't go back in time
If pain is the admission fee I wouldn't spare a dime
To live a story I'll be proud to leave behind
That's the price of being alive
Kinda thought that I'd never have to miss you
A permanent family fixture, like Christmas in the living room
Now my day to day don't look that different
But I know somethings missing
Like sunshine in the afternoon
That's a cost we can't decline
We might find a short term remedy, but we can't go back in time
If grief is the admission fee I wouldn't spare a dime
To live a story I'll be proud to leave behind
That's the price of being alive
All I know, is I no longer have illusion of control
And all I love, I have to learn to let it go
That's the part of life we barely mention
The beauty and the tension
Of how things don't stay the same
Things we love get smaller in the rear view
But some things never leave you
In the chaos of the change
That's a cost we can't decline
We might find a short term remedy, but we can't go back in time
If change is the admission fee I wouldn't spare a dime
To live a story I'll be proud to leave behind
That's the price of being alive
