Tightropes

Lyrics
As I get older, you get young
There's a perceived age difference between the speaker and the person they're addressing.
Must be the bed I'm sleeping on
Suggests that the environment or circumstances affecting the speaker may contribute to feeling older.
As I get up, you just got home
The speaker's schedule contrasts with the other person's, leading to missed connections.
Seems I spending all my time alone
The speaker feels increasingly isolated and spends much time alone.
I wore blindfolds
The speaker was unaware or oblivious to certain aspects of the relationship.
Walked your tightropes

Like you told me

Chasing you round has left me lonely

I wanna live a little more slowly
The speaker desires to live life at a slower pace, perhaps contrasting the fast-paced pursuit of the other person.
As I get older, you get young
Reiteration of the perceived age gap between the speaker and the addressed person.
Did I forget to put my sunscreen on
The speaker questions whether they've neglected self-care, like protecting themselves from harm.
You say, I'm half the man that I was then,
The other person criticizes the speaker, suggesting they've changed negatively.
So, I'm halfway out the door again
The criticism has led the speaker to contemplate leaving.
I wore blindfolds

Walked your tightropes

I wanna live a little more slowly
