Lyrics

Sunset

I’m hurting today, running full empty.
It’s just getting harder these days.

Once hurting always leaned me forward
Yet now headlights fade into less and less time
Past momentums are losing their flow
Except as waves soon crashing on shore.

I thought it would take me longer to get old
Thought it would take longer to get old
Memories once carried me forward
True smiles on the other side of hurt

These smiles I now lock on
A face more determined.
Determined to hold steady my feet
And hold steady myself.

Old worries fade to forgotten
Dwarfed by what’s new so split from what was
Past experience has less to offer
Than does courage to face the unknown.

These new worries are spinning my mind
Thoughts search crazy around and ‘round
Through a fading backward and forward
As another night goes by
Another night goes by

But hey why worry? What can you do?
Wake up, breathe, steady those feet
Go on and find tomorrow.

Lock on the smile and steady the feet.
Patience, pride and persistence
Mean hurt can still lean forward
And many smiles can still lie ahead
True simple smiles still lie ahead

So I’ll grow older as slow as I can
Grow older as slow as I can
Yeah I'm growing older as slow as I can
