We're Not Getting Any Younger

Color Theory · The Thought Chapter [2011]

I say I should take you home but you want to stay here

On the beach all alone with our blankets and beer

In the dark how we ache to fulfill this hunger

Cherish it now cause we're not getting any younger



Ashes in fire pits and fires in our hearts as we move

Crashing waves in an urgent and quickening groove

Consummating the end of a perfect summer

Cherish it now cause we're not getting any younger



If I never felt this way again

That would be okay

I could die right now a happy man

Because we had today



I peel the tag off a bottle hands dripping with sweat

Write a note on the back that says "never forget"

The best moments race by in a head-twisting blur

Cherish it now cause we're not getting any younger

Just before sunrise we're caught in a warm summer shower

So we climb to the top of a dry lifeguard tower

And we're rocked to the core by the gentle thunder

Cherish it now cause we're not getting any younger



We're truly alive today

I'd trade all my tomorrows

For one more taste of this naiveté

For this naiveté

I'd trade all my tomorrows

Truly alive today

In love with the whole world today.
