Lyrics

Well, I'm too old to know

Expressing uncertainty about one's age and understanding.

That I'm too young to stop

Feeling too young to give up or stop despite age.

But space and loam won't grow them back

Reflecting on the irreversible nature of time and its effects.

Well, no matter what I'm rollin'

Regardless of circumstances, the speaker is resilient and moving forward.

"To health" is what I've got

Expressing gratitude for good health.

Facin' the world ain't gonna make me snap

Facing challenges without breaking down.

You can find a mountain

Suggesting the availability of options or challenges in life.

You can pace me 'round top

Others can compete or keep pace, but the speaker is determined.

I'll tunnel down Broadway back to you

Willing to go through challenges for the sake of a connection.

You can tape me to the floor

Symbolic act of commitment, staying grounded.

Lock up all your doors

Suggesting a need for protection or isolation.

Close your eyes and listen for the truth

Encouraging introspection to find truth or clarity.


I never said it would be fun

Managing expectations about life's challenges.

And when all said and done

Reflecting on the completion of a task or journey.

The starting line was right there at my feet

Starting a journey with determination.

I never said that I would quit

Commitment to continue despite difficulties.

Hey there, friends, come get a load of this

Inviting others to witness or be part of the experience.

It would get crazy to be a man for my old lady

Embracing the chaos and challenges for the loved one.


From the wind that doesn't listen

Describing unresponsive elements of nature.

To the sea that doesn't shine

Accepting the predictability of certain aspects of life.

I can't say I'm surprised that I'm not shy

Acknowledging a lack of surprise in personal traits.

Oh, the sky shows me blue

Observing the beauty of the sky.

And your eyes show me you

Connecting the beauty of a loved one's eyes with the sky.

Every cell I've got fills up my heart

Feeling a deep emotional connection with someone.

But darling, when you need

Being there for the loved one in times of need.

To put your mind at ease

Offering support and reassurance.

I've got tickets to way you the came

Having something special to share when needed.

If you can't show up on time

Emphasizing the importance of punctuality.

Oh, if you make me wait a while

Expressing patience while waiting for someone.

I'll try my best to understand

Trying to understand delays with empathy.


I never said it would be fun

Reiterating the challenges of life.

And when all said and done

Reflecting on completing a task or journey with the same message as line 15.

The starting line was right there at my feet

Re-emphasizing the determination to start and finish a journey.

I never said that I would quit

Commitment to persevere despite challenges.

Hey there, friends, come get a load of this

Inviting others to witness or be part of the experience, same as line 18.

I'm gonna get crazy and be a man for my old lady

Expressing a willingness to embrace madness for the loved one.
