Old Man........................... Songtext

von I Can Make A Mess

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
