I know you’ve probably heard this one a few times, but I’m submitting it for consideration for the NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2025. This is a song about the inevitability of time. It’s called “Getting Older.”
Love y’all.
LYRICS
Everyone I know’s getting older
What does that mean for me?
Yesterday I fell in love, and that was 80 years ago
Tomorrow I’ll be a memory
Something about getting older
I didn’t know when I was young
No one has the answers or has everything together, no
Just trying to fix a dying sun
Am I who I’m wanting to be?
Have I taken all the chances?
Or am I afraid of crashing?
Oh I don’t want to lay down to sleep
Is the world about to fall apart?
There’s no cure for broken hearts
Lately I’ve been thinking
Am I making the most of my time?
Everyone I know’s getting older
Except for those who’ve gone away
Will they be waiting, standing there?
Will I even know or even care?
How does a life just pass away?
Am I who I’m wanting to be?
Have I taken all the chances?
Or am I afraid of crashing?
Oh I don’t want to lay down to sleep
Is the world about to fall apart?
There’s no cure for broken hearts
Lately I’ve been thinking
Am I making the most of my time?
I just want you to know that I love you
Even if I didn’t tell you
All of the time
Yes I need to know that you know that I love you
Even if I cannot breathe I do
