about

Gettin' Older is the debut release from the the Connecticut-based songwriting duo of Corey Lewin and Jerome Goosman. The song is a lighthearted commentary on the struggles of adulthood and fleeting youth.

lyrics

Why does gettin' older gotta hurt so bad?
Wish I hadn't took for granted everything I had
I was young, I was dumb, I was unafraid
Now I got aches, I got pains, I got bills to pay

Morning time
It doesn't come as easy as it used to
When you were drunk off of just two
And now you're feeling it bad

Now every night
You wake up feeling lost and you're confused
Wondering how this happened to you
And now it's making you sad

Sometimes you get kicked to the dirt
You pick yourself up and shake off the hurt
As the years go by
It just keeps getting harder to do

So tell me

Chorus:
Why does gettin' older gotta hurt so bad?
Wish I hadn't took for granted everything I had
I was young, I was dumb, I was unafraid
Now I got aches, I got pains, I got bills to pay
Oh tell me
Why do I keep clinging on to things in my past?
Didn't know my youth would fly by so fast
Won't somebody tell me how it got this way?
Cuz I got aches, I got pains, I got bills to pay

All my life
I swore I'd never be the kind of man who
Who's always talking about the way that things used to
The way that they used to be

Now all the time
I get caught up in my thoughts then I come to
Only to realize that my worst fears came true
I been living in my memories

So tell me

Chorus

Older, gettin' older
Gettin' older, gettin' older

These days it seems so easy
To get stuck in this routine
We feel like we’re just gears
Turning in a big machine
And it's like somebody took the clock and put it on double time
Sometimes you wish that you could just rewind

So tell me

Chorus

Older, gettin' older
Gettin' older, gettin' older (x2)

Oh tell me
Why does gettin' older have to be this way?
Cuz I got aches I got aches, I got pains, I got bills to pay
Now I got aches, I got pains, I got bills to pay
