Lyrics
I drink red wine in the winter,
I enjoy red wine during the winter.
And move back to a white in spring,
In spring, I switch to white wine.
I stare deep into the mirror,
I reflect deeply while looking into the mirror.
I take a long sip and I think,
While taking a sip, I contemplate life.
How the only thing that doesn't change,
I acknowledge that my tendency to spoil my own happiness remains constant.
Is my ability to rain on my own parade,
I recognize my ability to dampen my own spirits.
But this year, I'm gonna cut myself a break.
This year, I intend to be more forgiving to myself.
All my friend are scared of growing old,
My friends fear the process of aging.
But I'd rather grow old than not grow old at all,
I prefer growing old to not experiencing the aging process.
I've been feeling like Peter pan,
I feel a reluctance to mature, akin to Peter Pan.
One day I'll have to try to be a real man,
Eventually, I'll need to embrace adulthood.
I'd rather grow old than not grow old at all.
I value the experience of growing old over avoiding it entirely.
I grew my hair out long,
I let my hair grow long.
You didn't like that at all,
You disapproved of this change.
Baby, I'm trying to be a rockstar,
I aspire to be a rockstar.
You said, Come on Rob, you're not that cool.
You suggest that I'm not as cool as I think.
Deep down I'm a romantic,
Despite being a romantic at heart, I don't rush into plans.
But I see no rush in plans,
I find contentment in knowing you still want me around.
It's good enough for me to know that you still want me around.
