Lyrics
I'm old and you know it
So don't patronize me by
Talking to me in that sing-songy way
As though it's an I-should-hold-on-to-my-hat
Thrilling activity Later today
It may not be obvious now that I've become
A Medicare ad or a memory care meme
But there was a time when I looked
A lot more like
A living and breathing American Dream
No I don't want Any water or cracker
I'm not cold I'm not hot Will you just let me be?
Damn you I'll go to The bathroom myself
Please come back tomorrowI'm sad and Lonely
Days pass through our hands as
We reach out to grab them
Elusive Like smoke Drifting up and away
That dreamed about future Is just an illusion
Stop waiting for some Future happier day
The now is the real is the true is the only
The gift and the treasure The rainbow The prize
Memory will haunt us and wishing will taunt us
All that there is Right in front of our eyes
Just nineteen years old You've existed forever
Was there time before now? Well I haven't a clue
To be young and in love is the only The all
You're the air that I breathe I dream only of you
The world doesn't matter It doesn't exist
It looks like a hand-drawn Cartoonish 2D
Background to all of your Heart-stopping beauty
You're the start You're the finish
Zero Infinity
Can I freeze time right here? 'Cause
I don't want to know if
Whatever comes next will be Red green or blue
You make what I touch taste and see Even better
All that matters is found in The me and the you
