Older Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Waited all my life for this day to come
Feel like letting go, life goes on
Wasting no more time, so much to be done
Everything works out, so they say
Over my shoulder, it's tough getting older
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
It seems like nothing is black and white anymore
Shades of gray and I feel the weight over my shoulder
It's tough getting older
I always thought that I knew where I'd wanna go
But now I'm here and I find that I'm still getting colder
It's kinda tough getting older

[Verse 2]
Here before my eyes, many roads ahead
Time for me to choose, one way now
If I take a chance, what lies down the road?
Feelin' so confused, turn around
On and on, on and on and on
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
It seems like nothing is black and white anymore
Shades of gray and I feel the weight over my shoulder
It's tough getting older
I always thought that I knew where I'd wanna go
But now I'm here and I find that I'm still getting colder
It's kinda tough getting older
[Bridge]
I never thought that I'd feel this way
I always knew that my life would change (On and on)
Yeah, yeah
Waited all my life for this day to come in
I feel like letting go, life goes on
Over my shoulder (On and on)
It's tough getting older (On and on, on)
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
It seems like nothing is black and white anymore
Shades of gray and I feel the weight over my shoulder
It's tough getting older
I always thought that I knew where I'd wanna go
But now I'm here and I find that I'm still getting colder
It's kinda tough getting older

[Outro]
Waited all my life for this day to come, mm
Mm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
