Jesse Stewart Grow Old
[Verse 1: Jesse Stewart]
Always seems the darkest in the daytime
Gloomy in the sunshine
Sitting by the waterline
Serving ourselves off paper plates
Always gets the coldest in the bright times
Sullen in the sunlight
Sitting by the waterline
Drinking up all our escape
[Chorus]
I wanna do it again tomorrow
Sit alone with you and hold
Ourselves against some shadows
If you could only let yourself grow old
If you could only let yourself grow
If you could only let yourself grow
If you could only let yourself grow
Only only only only
Let yourself grow old
[Verse 2]
Well there's a thousand dreary moments
I would love to have again
Dreaming of all the stolen plans we made
But when? When will we find the time?
Fighting against our minds
Smiling at the thought of escaping our own kind
[Chorus]
And I wanna do it again tomorrow
Sit alone with you and hold
Ourselves against some shadows
If you could only let yourself grow old
Only let yourself grow
If you could only let yourself grow
If you could only let yourself grow
Only only only only
Let yourself grow old
[Verse 3]
Well I'll keep every picture
Taken, stolen or drawn
And I'll take down all the scripture
We wrote in my front lawn
But what will I write tomorrow?
What chords can we make sound new?
Whose energy will I borrow?
When you're out and gone and back to it
[Chorus]
And I wanna do it again tomorrow
Sit alone with you and hold
Ourselves against some shadows
If you could only let yourself grow old
If you could only let yourself grow
If you could only let yourself grow
If you could only let yourself grow
Only only only only
Let yourself grow old
[Verse 4]
Well there are slivers in my hand
From our shanty by the project
That oak, that ash, that sand
Intrusions I now reject
So keep them in a vial and I'll wear it around my neck
Keep them in a vial and I'll wear it around my neck
We all kill, we all die
We are truth but all lie
We could stand but we fly
And I just wanna dig some holes so I can be with you
I just wanna dig some holes so I can be with you
Be just like you
Just like you
[Bridge]
I wanna do it again tomorrow
Sit alone with you and hold
Ourselves against some shadows
If you could only let yourself grow old
Can we do it again tomorrow?
Sit alone with you and hold ourselves against some shadows
If you could only let yourself grow old
[Refrain]
Well there's them thousand dreary moments
I would love to have again
Dreaming of all the stolen plans we made
But when? When will we find the time?
Fighting against our minds
Smiling at the thought of escaping our own kind
And I wanna do it again tomorrow
