Aging Disgracefully

At 9, I overheard you say your inside were at war
While kids played house, I doctored, but could never find a cure
At 10, you sat me down, explained how soon you'd leave this world
While other kids would swing, I'd think of ways to love you more
11 came and went but still I couldn't shake those thoughts
Punished for sharing your glass, can't help but think it's all my fault
At 12, the day arrived when I was forced to let you go
While boys chased girls, I only longed to chase you down that road
All cells replaced and laid to waste, no joy in growing old
No change with age, I've only learned how to embrace this fall

Standing on your beach
Just went to dip my feet
But I got lost at sea
The tide pulls me beneath
It's very frightening
How you're making me
Fall in love, fall in love with you
Fall in love, fall in love with you
Because it's love that I'm bound to botch and lose
And I'll be damned if it happens again
Tangled in the weeds
Among your coral reef
The bind, it brings relief
My core, no more a cell
The pearl extracts from shell
Now I've let myself
Fall in love, fall in love with you
Fall in love, fall in love with you
But it's love that I'm bound to botch and lose
And I'll be damned if it happens again
I'll be damned

Wish I didn't need
To look up the words
You use to describe things
I nod and agree
Like I get what you mean
When I don't know a damn thing
I wish I could hold
Intense conversations
With what sparks your interests
But all that I know
The most primal of instincts
The mind of a caveman
Bone in my hand
Still question the sunlight
So obsessed with violence
Yet still scared to die
As others rub sticks
To create the first fire
I sit idly by
But at least I figured out
That I should make every second with you count
You'll come to your senses, there's no doubt
That as much as I love you
I'm going to lose you
To what I can't give you
