Older
Camille Beluze Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waited all my life for this day to come.
Feel like letting go, life goes on.
Wasting no more time,
So much to be done
Everything works out, so they say
Over my shoulder, it's tough getting older.
Yeah, yeah
Seems that nothing is black and white anymore,
Shades of gray
And I feel the weight over my shoulder.
It's tough getting older.
I always thought that I knew where I'd wanna go
But now I'm here and I find that I'm still getting colder.
It's kinda tough getting older.
Here before my eyes, many roads ahead,
Time for me to choose one way now.
If I take a chance, what lies down the road?
Feeling so confused... turned around...
Yeah, yeah
Seems that nothing is black and white anymore,
Shades of gray
And I feel the weight over my shoulder.
It's tough getting older.
I always thought that I knew where I'd wanna go
But now I'm here and I find that I'm still getting colder.
It's kinda tough getting older.
I never thought that I'd feel this way.
I always knew that my life would change.
On and on, yeah yeah
Waited all my life for this day to come.
I feel like letting go, life goes on.
Over my shoulder... (on and on)
It's tough getting older. (on and on)
Yeah, yeah
Seems that nothing is black and white anymore,
Shades of gray
And I feel the weight over my shoulder.
It's tough getting older.
I always thought that I knew where I'd wanna go
But now I'm here and I find that I'm still getting colder.
It's kinda tough getting older.




Waited all my life for this day to come...
Oh, oh, oh.
