Be Alright

I wish I could tell you that everything's okay

When certainly they're not 'cause in my mind

The weight of getting older falls right upon my shoulders

The clock never stops, no rewind

To you, it means a change for good

A day you been waiting for

Well I can not abide, no how, no way

To me, it means letting go of being carefree, responsible

Hello is something I'd rather not try today

I'll be alright, I swear

If it's fine by you, don't pay me no mind

I'll be alright, I swear

It's my life and it's ending one minute at a time

And I'm alive and free and young and chilling out

And doing whatever I want

I'm not sure exactly when time slipped through my fingers

But I'm afraid to lose anymore, please excuse the mess

I can't get over the hill and look back, no, that's for sure

And days swing by so blissfully, scares the shit out of me

My dear, does getting old mean you'll be alone?

Afraid of death, afraid of life, knock the door and wasting time

Hello, the thought of being without you is gone

And I was thinking bout turning up the stereo

And playing something out loud so I couldn't hear the world

And maybe stop it on it's axis for a second

So I can live in the moment for just another minute in it

And I was thinking about closing up the shades

And acting like it never changes time in the day

And I don't have to see the sun fade away

It's like it never happened then-then I'd be okay
