Old Before Our Time
Embracing Love's Journey: Growing Old Before Our Time
Lyrics
I'm sure that I've run this theme into the ground
The speaker acknowledges repetitiveness in expressing a particular idea.
Asking if you'll miss me when I'm not around
The speaker questions if they will be missed when absent.
You said you'll love me until the day you die
A commitment to love is expressed until death.
Till then we'll watch each other grow old before our time
The couple anticipates aging together and witnessing each other's aging process.
It's never fun to watch the one's you love growing old
Reflecting on the difficulty of witnessing loved ones age.
And it's even harder to have to see them go
Expressing the emotional challenge of saying goodbye to aging loved ones.
You and I still have a few hills to climb
The couple acknowledges that they still have challenges ahead in their lives.
Till then we'll help each other grow old before our time
Commitment to supporting each other through life's challenges and aging.
Old before our time, old before our time
Reiteration of the theme of aging before one's time.
Just living should not be a crime
Arguing that merely living should not be considered a wrongdoing or aged condition.
Growing old before our time
Repetition of the concept of growing old prematurely.
The kids are all grown now and we're wondering what we've done
The speaker reflects on their grown children and contemplates the consequences of their upbringing.
Knowing that it's their turn to race towards oblivion
Acknowledging the inevitability of the younger generation facing challenges.
At least they'll bring by the grandkids from time to time
The hope that the grown children will visit with grandchildren occasionally.
And we can pretend we're not growing old before our time
Pretending not to age prematurely when spending time with family.
Old before our time, old before our time
Reiteration of the theme of aging before one's time.
Just living should not be a crime
Stating that living itself should not be considered a crime.
Growing old before our time
Repeating the idea of growing old prematurely.
Faking it until we've made it is all that we've known to do
Adopting a facade of confidence until success is achieved.
Constantly longing for just a taste of that forbidden fruit
Expressing a constant desire for something forbidden or unattainable.
There's love in this house as sure as there's pain in your eyes
Acknowledging both love and pain within the relationship.
With you I don't mind growing old before our time
The speaker is content with aging as long as it's with their partner.
Old before our time
Reiteration of the theme of aging before one's time.
