Daniel Seavey - The Older You Get [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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 cigarettes
Guess that's what happens the older you get
Start to wish you could've been sixteen 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

[Chorus]
Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh-oh
And, oh, that's just the way it goes, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Lifе's goin' good, but you wonder what's after
'Cause Dad's moving slowеr 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 momma calls, you always pick up the phone
And you talk a little longer 'cause tomorrow is not a sure bet
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh-oh
And, oh, that's just the way it goes, oh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh (Hey)
Guess that's what happens the older you get
(Ooh) Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh-oh
And, oh, that's just the way it goes, oh-oh-oh-oh
And, oh, that is just the way it goes, ooh-woah-woah-woah
And, oh, oh, that's just the way it goes
