Older Now
Embracing Change: Courtney Marie Andrews' Reflections in 'Older Now'
Lyrics
Can I say what's on my mind?
Expressing a desire to communicate openly.
I wanna get it right this time
Striving for correctness and improvement in a situation.
Awkward talk, awkward dance
Describing an uncomfortable conversation or interaction.
Missed another awkward chance
Regretting a missed opportunity in a social context.
But I am older now
Acknowledging personal growth and maturity.
And I am ready for a change
Expressing readiness for a positive transformation.
Fuck it up, make you laugh
Taking risks for the sake of joy, despite past difficulties.
We both have traumatic pasts
Sharing common experiences of emotional pain or trauma.
See it for what it is
Encouraging a realistic perspective on a situation.
Still feel like a little kid
Feeling a sense of vulnerability and youthfulness.
Running through open fields
Evoking a carefree and liberating experience.
Dog is biting at our heels
Highlighting challenges or obstacles in life.
Falling down in the sand
Experiencing moments of vulnerability or falling.
Life is better without plans
Embracing the idea that life is unpredictable without rigid plans.
'Cause I am older now
Reiterating personal growth and a readiness for change.
And I am ready for a change
Expressing a continued openness to positive transformations.
Let's be honest, it's not what
Encouraging honesty in acknowledging reality.
Our parents all said it was
Contrasting present experiences with traditional beliefs.
No one stays together now
Reflecting on the challenges of maintaining relationships.
No one gives a damn about
Observing a lack of concern or interest in relationships.
Pushing through until the end
Expressing frustration and a decision to stop enduring difficulties.
I'm never calling you again
Deciding to end communication with someone.
Because I am older now
Reiterating maturity and a reluctance to change further.
And I am never gonna change
Affirming a commitment to maintaining one's current state.
