The Babies - Got Old [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I was 21, I was 33
I was just a child when I was 17
I got old, I got old, I got old

And every year it is a different number
And every mirror is more like my father
I got old, I got old, I got old

And now I'm comfortable
Within this world
And it's all I've known
I'm not ready to go

My arm's around you, you feel like my mother
Beneath the shoulder of my father
Yeah, they were young once
Yeah, in their own right
They were like us

I had a friend just like a child
Let him stay young, young and wild
Never got old, never got old
He died so young

Let the days move slow
As everyone I know grows old
Let them through, then go
Out the back door

And release the child in me
The child in me
The child in me
The child

Now there's nothing to do in this town
There's nothing to do in this town anymore
And no one is left around
There's nothing to do in this town anymore

I got old, I got old, I got old
I got old, I got old, I got old

When I was young
Man I was younger
You should have seen me
I was on fire
