Verse 1:

In these corners like cocoons lined with respiring relics

I study phonetics subtleties of facial expressions

Were we happy here?

How will it end?

Without a song a man aging got a friend and the road don't bend

Pre-Chorus:

I am governed by your image it instils in me

A fraud, a greed, an inability to remain happy, to be content

Cause there's nobody else I'd rather torment

I want you to do all the things that I couldn't do

To laugh with the depth of your stomach like you used to

Chorus:

Can't you see?

You're growing older too

And time has caught up with you

Can't you see?

I'm growing older too

But I'm not the same as you

Verse 2:

I tried to don that heavenly white, and I

Try to dispel the calling of Hyde by night I feel the summon

Insidious and negligent, it sullies a man

Like I've never been enough as I am

I've loathed people that have loved themselves

I can't be happy if I can't be myself

Paranoia controls me

Will you set me free?

Am I enough as I am?

Chorus:

Can't you see?

You're growing older too

And time has caught up with you

Can't you see?

I'm growing older too

But I'm not the same as you

Bridge:

Please don't say you love me

Don't say you're sorry

I know better than to believe you

And I deserve no better

Keep running, faster

You're almost free, believe me

Chorus:

Can't you see?

You're growing older too

And time has caught up with you

Can't you see?

You're growing older too

And time has caught up with you

Can't you see?

I'm growing older too

But I'm not the same as you
