Laid down with the lights out
I think I'm wearing thinner than I was
When everything was new
And I think back to the old days
With three kids in a camper in the yard
When nothing seemed to move
But something in the way the world turns
Means I'm older now
But I don't feel older at all, unless older means
You've got a whole lot less figured out
Oh God, I'm losing my grip
On the things that I know
Only last if you let them go
Oh God, I'm starting to miss
All the things that I had
When I lived in that town
Oh God, I'm losing my mind
Thinking everything changes
And everyone seems to know
Oh God, take me back to the days
Of brothers and baseball
And looking for Watership Down
I woke up in a new bed
I think I'm getting taller cuz my feet
Keep slipping past the edge
And I think back to the time when
I was still too young to count the days
So I lived in them instead
But something in the way the world turns
Means I'm older now
But I don't feel older at all, unless older means
You've got a whole lot less figured out
Oh God, I'm losing my grip
On the things that I know
Only last if you let them go
Oh God, I'm starting to miss
All the things that I had
When I lived in that town
Oh God, I'm losing my mind
Thinking everything changes
And everyone seems to know
Oh God, take me back to the days
Of brothers and baseball
And looking for Watership Down
Oh God, and the railroad ran
On the weekends
We still had time to go see it, and
Oh God, and the park wasn't paved
And the tree in the yard
Still showed us the seasons, and
Oh God, and the neighborhood felt
Like a world that was still
Big enough to believe in, and
Oh God, take me back to the days
Of brothers and baseball
And still having reasons
For hoping and waiting
And looking for Watership Down
