As Old As You Look
Eternal Youth: A Pact of Moments
Lyrics
I'm as old as you look
I possess the appearance of being as old as you perceive.
You're as young as I feel
Your apparent age is determined by how youthful I feel.
So, hey put down that book
Stop focusing on external things (like a book) and engage with me.
And let's make a deal
Let's make an agreement or arrangement.
Let's get lost in a story that we write with each breath
Let's immerse ourselves in a narrative formed by our experiences.
Every smile, scented style, for a while no more unworthiness
Every expression of joy and personal fragrance is valued, eliminating feelings of inadequacy for a limited period.
And it's true that it might be just for a night
Acknowledging that this connection might only last for a night.
And we'll wake and find that none of this is real
Upon waking, we might realize that this momentary connection wasn't genuine.
But for now be my doll, don't ask why, don't ask how
Act as my companion without questioning or probing for explanations.
'Cause I'm as old as you look and you're as young as I feel
Because my apparent age is based on your perception, and your youthfulness is determined by how I feel.
Paradise, afternoon, jazz band plays
Depiction of an idyllic scene: paradise, afternoon, accompanied by a jazz band playing music.
One more tune, rising three quarter moon hits the skies
The setting sun coincides with a rising three-quarter moon in the sky.
You sit and read while I write, as the day turns to night
You read while I write, transitioning from day to night, marked by the growing shadows.
Shadows grow left to right, on your eyes
The shadows gradually expand across your eyes.
I'm past my prime; you're ill at ease
I feel beyond my best time; you seem uncomfortable.
Rubbing that sunscreen all over your knees
You apply sunscreen to your knees.
Seems that each stroke is merely a tease
The act of applying sunscreen seems like a teasing or playful gesture.
Some kind of game that you play
Seemingly engaging in a kind of game or playful behavior.
Honey I've got to say
An expression of the need to communicate a thought or feeling.
I'm as old as you look
Reiteration of the idea that my age is perceived based on your appearance.
You're as young as I feel
Your perceived youthfulness depends on how young I feel.
So, hey put down that book
Encouragement to cease current activities and engage in something together.
And let's make a deal
Suggesting an agreement or arrangement between us.
Let's get lost in a story that we write with each breath
To immerse ourselves in a jointly created narrative shaped by our actions.
Every smile, scented style, for a while no more unworthiness
Appreciating moments of happiness and personal essence, temporarily overcoming feelings of inadequacy.
And it's true that it might be just for a night
Acknowledging that this connection might be transient.
And we'll wake and find that none of this is real
Upon awakening, realizing that the connection was temporary.
But for now be my doll, don't ask why, don't ask how
Urging to be a companion without seeking explanations.
'Cause I'm as old as you look and you're as young as I feel
Because my perceived age is based on your appearance, and your youthfulness depends on how young I feel.
Evening sun going down, and there's no one around
Description of a setting sun with no one present, possibly hinting at solitude.
I'll be blowing this town Saturday
Planning to leave this place on Saturday.
Let's go down to the shore, and attempt to explore
Proposing a visit to the shore to explore unspoken feelings or desires.
Something more that we don't need to say
Suggesting there's more to explore without the need for verbal expression.
I am over a hill that you never have climbed
Implies I've experienced things you haven't.
For a cheap enough thrill I'd go out of my mind
Willingness to engage in risky behavior for excitement or pleasure.
I came here to meditate, pause, and unwind
Arrival with the intention to relax and unwind, questioning the reason for engaging in an unexpected activity.
So why am I dancing this dance
Expressing confusion about engaging in a particular action.
Should we give this a chance
Questioning whether to give the situation or relationship a chance.
