Come Up the Years
Love's Timeless Struggle: Embracing Passion Across Generations
Lyrics
I ought to get going
I feel the need to leave
I shouldn't stay here and love you
I shouldn't remain here and be in love with you
More than I do
Expressing hesitation about the depth of love
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Highlighting the age difference between the speaker and the person addressed
Come up the years, come up the years
Reflecting on the passage of time and growing older
And love me, love me, love me
Desiring love despite the age gap
A younger girl keeps hanging around
Describing the presence of a younger girl
One of the loveliest I've ever found
Complimenting the attractiveness of the younger girl
Blowin' my mind, stealin' my heart
Expressing the impact of the younger girl on the speaker's emotions
Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart
Seeking assistance to avoid emotional breakdown
I ought to get going
Reiterating the need to leave
I shouldn't stay here and love you
Emphasizing the challenge of loving intensely
More than I do
Repeating the sentiment of not loving too much
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Highlighting the age-related concern in the relationship
Come up the years, come up the years
Re-emphasizing the passage of time and aging
And love me, love me, love me
Reaffirming the desire for love despite age
The things she's doing keep turning me on
Describing the younger girl's actions as appealing
And I've been happy to go right along
Expressing willingness to go along with the younger girl's actions
I know it's time that I said goodbye
Acknowledging the need to say goodbye
I know I can't leave no matter how hard I try
Admitting difficulty in leaving despite the effort
I ought to get going
Reiterating the urge to leave
I shouldn't stay here and love you
Emphasizing the challenge of staying and loving intensely
More than I do
Repeating the sentiment of not loving too much
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Highlighting the age-related concern in the relationship
Come up the years, come up the years
Re-emphasizing the passage of time and aging
And love me, love me, love me
Reaffirming the desire for love despite age
(I ought to get going)
Repeating the intention to leave
Love me (come up the years, come up the years)
Expressing the need for love as time passes
Love me (I ought to get going
Reiterating the intention to leave
Won't you love me (come up the years, come up the years)
Asking for love despite the challenges of age
