Grow Old with Me
Tom Odell/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your hair on my skin
As we lie here within
The night
I'll pull the sheets
When it's cold on your feet
Cuz you'll fall back to sleep
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
And our hands they might age
And our bodies will change
But we'll still be the same
As we are
We'll still sing our song
When our hair ain't so blonde
And our children have sung
We were right
They'll sing
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
And the hairs they stand up
And my feet start to thump
Yer the feeling is dreaming
Around
You'll be the one
Make me hurt, make me come
Make me feel like I'm real
And alive
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I

Walking on the rooftops
Talking of times
With our eyes a glowing
Like the city lights
She stands on the ledge,
She says, 'it looks so high'
You know it's a...
Long way down
Feels like a long way down
Feels like a long way down
Like a long way down
So honey don't leave, don't leave,
Please don't leave me now
Cuz I can feel the rivers
Winding through the lands
Two lines, and a poet
Like a kind old rye
You know we could talk in that language
Only we understand
But you know..
It's a long way down
You know it's a long way down
Feels like a long way down
Love it feels like a long way down
So honey don't leave, don't leave,
Please don't leave me now...
okay? :)

8 years later and I still hear this song playing in my head when I sit and think about childhood like how Hazel sits and looks at her old swing set.
