"Coming Of A Certain Age" lyrics

Take a picture of a picture
Watch the details fade
Life is like a roll of film you borrowed
Got a folder stack of memories
I've been trying to save
So yesterday can still be here tomorrow

I'm coming of a certain age
I'm coming of a certain age
Afraid to meet the moment
Where I've been ain't where I'm going
Sometimes I don't know what to say
Been feeling that a lot lately
It came without a warning
I guess I'm just a person
Coming of a certain age

I get tired and I get anxious
I know love and I know rage
I'm trying to understand the core emotions
Like how the hell does someone
Well their own eyes up with tears
Watching ripples drift across the ocean

I'm coming of a certain age
I'm coming of a certain age
Where things hit you twice as heavy
They were right you're never ready
Is someone gonna save the day
Ain't that this kind of play?
Am I the hero in this story
Am I just an allegory?
Coming of a certain age

Who's gonna pick me up
When I fall from my high hopes
Places I carved my name
Map of my old ghosts

I used to dread holidays
These days I just miss home
I know you can relate
I know I'm not alone

I'm coming of a certain age
I'm coming of a certain age

I'm afraid to meet the moment
Where I've been ain't where I'm going
Sometimes I don't know what to say
Been feeling that a lot lately
It came without a warning
I guess I'm just a person
Coming of a certain age
