Getting Older
Navigating Life's Changes: Green River Ordinance's Reflection on Growing Older
Lyrics
Give me time give me space
Expressing a need for time and space, possibly in a relationship or personal growth context.
After all the years here
Reflecting on the passing of many years.
So they says we've lost our way
Addressing the perception that they have deviated from their intended path.
Remember back when we were young
Nostalgia for a simpler time in the past, likely during youth.
It was easier to love
Highlighting the ease of love during the earlier years.
Now we are fallin
Suggesting a current state of falling or decline.
I don't wanna spend my life runnin scared of what we've become
Expressing a desire to avoid a life defined by fear and acknowledging a transformation.
It's never what they told ya I guess we're gettin older
Contrasting expectations with reality, acknowledging the inevitability of aging.
I don't spend my life waiting watchin while we all keep changin
Rejecting a passive approach to life and observing ongoing changes.
I guess we're getting older I guess we're getting older
Reiterating the acceptance of the aging process.
it's been so long here trying to mend
Describing efforts to repair or heal a long-lasting situation.
The cracks we've fallin in
Acknowledging existing cracks and difficulties.
Still they slip from under our feet
Noting the challenges that continuously slip away.
And we're fallin fast we're fallin
Emphasizing the speed of the decline or challenges they are facing.
I don't wanna spend my life runnin scared of what we've become
Reiterating the desire to avoid a fearful life and facing the reality of change.
It's never what they told ya I guess we're gettin older
Highlighting the contrast between expectations and reality in the aging process.
I don't spend my life waiting watchin while we all keep changin
Rejecting a passive attitude and observing ongoing changes in life.
I guess we're getting older I guess we're getting older oh
Repeating the acceptance of the aging process with an emotional tone.
I don't wanna spend my life runnin scared of what we're becomin
Expressing a reluctance to face the evolving reality of what they are becoming.
I guess we're getting older I guess we're gettin older
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the aging process.
Oh (don't)
Repeating emotional exclamations, possibly indicating a plea or emotional intensity.
Oh (don't)
-Oh (don't)
-Oh-oh
-I don't wanna spend my life runnin scared of what we've become
