Ageless
The Home Team Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a reality that's hardly built to last.
Couldn't I still believe in something better?
I'm not the first nor the last to be awake through every night
Coming to terms with getting older.
Well maybe I'm still the same in your eyes,
But you should know, you're not in mine.
Has put me out of line, unfocused.
Still again, we refrain, we're afraid of nothing.
Will it be unspoken?
It's not unlike every night that I stayed home.
It's better you never said hello.
I'm sure it's easier when it's safe enough and you're in love,
But I'm the one who's better off.
I've been reliving every fantasy I've had all this time,
And you've been nothing but the best thing on my mind.
But you know, you know you're worth it when it's obvious I'm alone,
And now that I'm older it's getting easier to show.
But I've been living up the past again,
It never ends in progress.
And you can try to choose, but the world keeps changing around you.
Better you never said hello.
I'm sure it's easier when it's safe enough and you're in love,
But I'm the one who's better off.
I've been reliving every fantasy I've had all this time,
And you've been nothing but the best thing on my mind.
Oh, you don't mistake attraction,
No, you take what I've been missing.
Oh, you don't mistake attraction,
No, you take what I've been missing.
Believing every hint that I made, you noticed.
You'd never even know what it takes to show it.
I still can't help but worry about
The way you make me run around
Believing every hint that I made, you noticed.
You'd never even know what it takes to show it.

The way you make me run around
Itɘs better you never said hello.
Iɘm sure itɘs easier when it's safe enough and youɘre in love,

I've been reliving every fantasy

And you've been nothing but the best thing on my mind.
The song "Ageless" by The Home Team delves into the universal theme of growing older, while also exploring the complicated emotions that come with unrequited love. The lyrics highlight the conflict between wanting something deeper with someone, but also feeling safer living in a shell and being alone with one's thoughts. The singer laments the fact that they cannot stop thinking about this person, and how they’ve been reliving every fantasy they've had about them. The song reflects the internal struggle of coming to terms with one’s age and how time seems to be slipping away. It touches on the fear of not being able to achieve what one wants in life, and the inevitability of growing up and growing apart.
In the chorus, the singer emphasizes that it’s better the person they have feelings for never said hello. They imply that maybe their life is easier without pursuing a relationship that may cause more conflict or heartache. They finally acknowledge that they’re the better off one, having the opportunity to explore their emotions by themselves rather than with someone else.
Overall, "Ageless" is a poignant and introspective song about aging and unrequited love. It reminds us that growing older is not just about the physical changes we experience but the emotional and mental growth as well. It also speaks to the fact that sometimes it’s better to keep our feelings to ourselves than risk the complications that come with pursuing them.
