lyrics

Slept like a baby in the late eighties
I am older now, just holding on
Most days it’s caffeine that gets me up and going
I am older now, just holding on

And on and on and on
And on and on and on

I was doing fine in the mid-nineties
I am older now, just holding on
Most days it’s wine that sets me unwinding
I am older now, just holding on

It’s a strange time I find myself in
A strange vine we’re climbing
My fists are gripping, but my grip is slipping
I am older now, just holding on

Tell me baby, tell me nicely,
Where is this old machine driving?
Cause I wanna be near you, but most days I can’t hear you
I am older now, just holding on

And on and on and on
And on and on and on

I started writing songs in the two thousands
I am older now, just holding on
Most days it’s the rope that keeps me from drowning
I am older now, just holding on

It’s a strange time I find myself in
A strange vine we’re climbing
My fists are gripping, but my grip is slipping
I am older now, just holding on
I am older now, just holding on
