Later Gator! Lyrics

Woke up with a sad song stuck in my head
A crazy case of bittersweet dread
A nasty constant biting affliction
Nostalgia is the new addiction

Walls creak with warmth of the morning
And my knees ache from the concrete floor
Subtlety be damned, I’m really tired
Need something more to stoke my fire

I hesitate to say I hate getting older

Even grown ups have to grow up sometimes
It’s no surprise to eyes as weary as mine
You could go on and still wonder why
All time that’s past remains by your side
What matters most is making the most of it all

I felt a familiar feeling
The hole in my heart is still healing
A drop in the temp about a dozen percent
A change in the air I’ll never forget

I hesitate to say I hate getting older
Turning the page, finding value with age
The memories should remain
Take the weight off your shoulders

Even grown ups have to grow up sometimes
It’s no surprise to eyes as weary as mine
You could go on and still wonder why
All time that’s past remains by your side
What matters most is making the most of it all
