Lyrics Getting Older in a Modern Time - morgxn

Yeah, I like to live my life like a novel
Keep filling pages up 'til they're all full
But I don't understand how I got here again
At the end of another chapter

I like to live my life like it's a novel
But I'm getting older
Like my bones are about to break
And time is getting younger
Like the seasons, we're meant to change

But the distance between where I want to be
And where I am right now, it looks so open wide it
It makes me feel behind
I guess that's getting older in a modern time

I grew up somewhere on a dead-end
Sometimes a solid ground can still cave in
But I came and I saw from these deep canyon walls
To the waves as they roll off the ocean

Now I find myself somehow at a dead end
Yeah, I'm getting older
Like my bones are about to break
And time is getting younger
Like the seasons, we're meant to change

But the distance between where I want to be
And where I am right now, it looks so open wide
It makes me feel behind
I guess that's getting older in a modern time

I know I'll find a way to find what I've needed to say
The pain can't be erased, just leave it on the page
Yeah, I'm getting older and my hair is growing thin
And I'm not getting any younger, but it always comes around again

And the distance between where I want to be
And where I am right now, it looks so open wide
I feel so far behind
I guess that's getting older in a modern time

Yeah, that's getting older in a modern time
