I JUST WANTED YOU TO GET OLD

I just wanted you to get old

Like the army green faux faux 

And the toys we sold

Like the books that you read me

And the jokes you told

I just wanted you to get old.

I just wanted you to get old.

Like vacations in Tahoe

And your skiing poles

The ones I held on too tightly

'Til you said, Let go.

Oh I just wanted you to get old.

And I sorry that I never get around 

To picking up the phone or staying home

I swear to god 

That I must be the worst person I found

Tell me, would it be too late to appreciate you?

I'm so sorry. 

I'm so sorry.

'Cause I still want you to get old.

Please forgive me I know it doesn't always show

But I'll try to be better if you don't let go

Oh I just wanted you to get old.
