I wanna wake up, if this is all a dream

Cause there are monsters

And they talk and they whisper

In the places I can't see

I don't wanna fake it

With a chip on my shoulder

Cause when I glance in the mirror all I see

Is a man that is older

Couple more grays than yesterday 

And couple less than tomorrow 

Couple more cracks in my driveway

I got no more cash to borrow

Older, I keep getting older

With nothing to show

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta go

Colder, the world keeps getting colder 

No shoulder to cry on

No one to rely on

I just keep getting older, yeah

Don't wake me up

If this is all there is

I'm alarmed, I'm afraid, I'm ashamed 

Of the place I'll raise my kids

I need to wash this down

Cause it's a tough pill to swallow

Uncertainty and tragedy, it's a pharmacy 

And the drugs that keep me hollow

Couple more funerals than yesterday

And a couple less than tomorrow

I'm not the same man as my wedding day

I've seen my share of sorrows

Older, I keep getting older

With nothing to show

Something's gotta give

Something's gotta go

Colder, the world keeps getting colder 

No shoulder to cry on

No one to rely on

I just keep getting older, yeah

Yesterday was new year's, tomorrow is halloween

Daydreams and cross beams in a broken slot machine

Sticks and stones may break your bones    

And a cutting word may bring you low

But maybe we'll get back up

Yesterday was new year's, tomorrow is halloween

Daydreams and cross beams in a broken slot machine

Sticks and stones may break your bones    

A cutting word may bring you low

But maybe we'll get back up

Oh maybe we'll get back up  

Older, I keep getting older

Jesus, I just need you Jesus

When it's my time to go

All I've given away, is all I have to show

Jesus, I just need you Jesus

My shoulder to cry on

My one to rely on

I just need Jesus, yeah
