Old Man

Old man, you were young then

Had so much love that

You traded for gradient things

So I walked up to your red door

And I could not see a reflection of me

So I laid down on your front lawn

And let the grass grow up around me

And wait...



'Cause you've got me on my knees

And right about now I'm begging you please

I know you won't 'cause you've got needs

And everything stops when everyone wants, we all need things

So please...



Red light, you say you want life

But you stop right before the good part

And the green light, yeah that's my left eye

It gets so cold, I have to close them both

And wait...



'Cause you've got me on my knees

And right about now I'm begging you please

I know you won't 'cause you've got needs

And everything stops when everyone wants, we all need things

And right about now I'm on my knees



The world we know,

It's the world we lost.



I said I've got the lines if you'd like to hear it

I can't decide if you'd like to be there, too
