95 years from now
To think of yesterdays aspirations
Times that war held the nation captive
Aspirations and dreams I had with my wife
At this age, the best you can do is to feel like you're 65
My outline defined clearly in the mirror
No body fat to hid my frame anymore
Actually wearing a size 28 again
A medium that falls off my frame
You could push me over and kill me
In many ways I have not changed
All except that, I am ready to die
I am sure I have answered all of her questions
I never did what anyone wanted me to do
I was 50 before my friendships began to endure time
Once they did, I actually began to feel younger
I remember we thought we would not see the 21st century
To be honest I am not looking forward to the 22nd
The world is entirely too perfect
I can no longer handle it
It makes me cry every time to think about it
Maybe I will confront Logan’s worst fears
I always wanted to die in the metropolis
The sophistication has died in me
As long as I am alone when it happens
No one has to experience my departure from this earth
To think of yesterdays aspirations
Times that war held the nation captive
Aspirations and dreams I had with my wife
At this age, the best you can do is to feel like you're 65
My outline defined clearly in the mirror
No body fat to hid my frame anymore
Actually wearing a size 28 again
A medium that falls off my frame
You could push me over and kill me
In many ways I have not changed
All except that, I am ready to die
I am sure I have answered all of her questions
I never did what anyone wanted me to do
I was 50 before my friendships began to endure time
Once they did, I actually began to feel younger
I remember we thought we would not see the 21st century
To be honest I am not looking forward to the 22nd
The world is entirely too perfect
I can no longer handle it
It makes me cry every time to think about it
Maybe I will confront Logan’s worst fears
I always wanted to die in the metropolis
The sophistication has died in me
As long as I am alone when it happens
No one has to experience my departure from this earth
