Lyrics
Nobody said that growing old would be easy
Nobody anticipated that the process of aging would be trouble-free.
Nobody said that I would start to feel lonely
No expectations were set for the emotional isolation that comes with aging.
All these nights I spent here alone
Reflecting on numerous nights spent in solitude.
Wishing I had someone
An expression of the desire for companionship.
That's when you came along
A turning point when the person mentioned entered the speaker's life.
Nobody said that things with us would be perfect
No illusions about a flawless relationship; acknowledging imperfections.
Every mistake and hurt totally worth it
Despite mistakes and pain, the speaker values the relationship.
I'm finding myself in each moment with you
Discovering personal growth through shared moments.
Everything's better when you're here with me too
Expressing the enhanced quality of life when the significant other is present.
And I keep playing it over and over
Repeatedly revisiting memories, possibly nostalgic or significant moments.
Memories fade as we keep getting older
Recognition that memories fade with the passage of time.
We'll keep things just how they started
Commitment to maintaining the initial essence of the relationship.
Keep this thing well guarded
Determined to protect and preserve the relationship.
Nobody can take me from you
Asserting the uniqueness and exclusivity of the bond.
We'll buy a house start a life
Envisioning a future together, possibly settling down.
White picket fence nine to five
Describing a traditional, stable life with a job and a home.
Because that is all that I wanna do
Affirmation that the speaker's desires are encapsulated in a domestic life.
We'll keep things just how they started
Reiteration of the commitment to preserving the relationship's origin.
A part of being my best self is
Recognizing that personal fulfillment involves being content with a partner.
Being content with somebody else
Emphasizing the importance of shared contentment in a relationship.
I'm finding peace in the moments we spend together
Finding solace and tranquility in shared moments.
I'm really hoping this lasts forever
Expressing a desire for the positive aspects of the relationship to endure.
'cause when I'm with you the world slows down
The partner has a calming effect, slowing down the chaotic world.
And I can finally catch my breath
Experiencing relief and relaxation when with the significant other.
We'll keep things just how they started
Reiterating the commitment to maintaining the relationship's origin.
Keep this thing well guarded
Emphasizing the need to guard and protect the relationship.
Nobody can take me from you
Reasserting the exclusivity of the bond.
We'll buy a house start a life
Envisioning a shared future, including a home and a routine.
White picket fence nine to five
Describing a traditional, stable life with a job and a home (repeated).
Because that is all that I wanna do
Affirmation that the speaker's desires are encapsulated in a domestic life (repeated).
We'll keep things just how they started
Reiteration of the commitment to preserving the relationship's origin (repeated).
Nobody said that growing old would be easy
Restating the challenges of growing old.
Nobody said that I would start to feel lonely
Repeating the acknowledgment of feeling lonely in the aging process.
Nobody said that growing old would be easy
Reiterating the challenges of growing old (repeated).
Nobody said that I would start to feel lonely
Repeating the acknowledgment of feeling lonely in the aging process (repeated).
Oh
An interjection, possibly emphasizing a realization or emotion.
Nobody said I should feel lonely
Rejecting the notion of loneliness as prescribed by others.
In the back of my mind
Internal recognition of self-inflicted emotional pain.
I produce my own misery
Admitting personal responsibility for creating misery.
And Misery loves company
Stating that misery tends to be shared with others.
Nobody said
Reiterating the absence of prior warnings or advice.
Nobody said
Reaffirming the lack of forewarning or guidance.
