"The Older You Get"

[00:08.54] Lookin' in the mirror, and you don't look the same

[00:13.06] Girls from your past getting new last names

[00:17.32] High school friends burning out like their cigarettes

[00:22.89] Guess that's what happens the older you get

[00:27.14] (Guess that's what happens the older you get)

[00:30.06] Start to wish you could've been sixteen forever

[00:34.05] 'Cause you know your favourite band ain't getting back together

[00:38.31] And the nights you don't remember are the nights that you'll never forget

[00:44.43] Guess that's what happens the older you get

[00:55.85] Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh

[01:04.08] And, oh, that's just the way it goes, oh

[01:12.85] Life's going good, but you wonder what's after

[01:17.09] 'Cause dad's moving slower and time's moving faster

[01:21.39] You hug a little tighter, and you say the things you never said

[01:27.23] Guess that's what happens

[01:29.36] Sometimes the cancer goes away, and sometimes it don't

[01:33.60] So, now, when your mama calls, you always pick up the phone

[01:38.38] And you talk a little longer 'cause tomorrow is not a sure bet

[01:44.75] Ooh, oh

[01:47.42] Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh

[01:55.65] And, oh, that's just the way it goes, oh

[02:04.42] (Ooh, ooh) Guess that's what happens the older you get

[02:12.94] (Ooh, ooh) Oh, oh-oh, oh

[02:21.45] The house you grew up in is now gettin' sold

[02:25.69] In a box full of memories that's worth more than gold

[02:29.94] You close your eyes one last time in your childhood bed

[02:35.79] Guess that's what happens, what happens, oh

[02:38.45] Home was a place, now home is a person

[02:42.69] And you're lookin' at rings 'cause you swear that you're certain

[02:46.95] And the best day of your life becomes the day that the two of you met

[02:52.79] Guess that's what happens the older you get

[02:55.71] Oh, that's just the way it goes, oh

[03:04.21] And, oh, that's just the way it goes, oh

[03:12.71] And, oh, that is just the way it goes, ooh-woah-woah-woah

[03:21.21] And, oh, woah, that is just the way it goes
