Another Year Older - A A J Russe

We’re not quite as pretty as we used to be
We’re not quite as tall and we can barely see
But here we are
Another year older

I follow you like you follow me
We don’t get far because nobody leads
So here we are
Another year older

But if no-one pulls the rug away
Or trips us up again
We won’t notice
We won’t care
We’ll get back home again

With all that we wanted
Just like we dreamed of
Happy and wiser
And another year older
Another year older

It’s not like we ever thought we’d win a prize
Getting to the end would be a compromise
But here we are
Another year older

The cap doesn’t fit and the dirt don’t stick
Looks like we nearly got away with it
So here we are
Another year older

So if you want to be with me
I promise now – same for me
We don’t notice
We don’t care
We’ll get back home again

With all that we wanted
Just like we dreamed of
Happy and wiser
And another year older
Another year older
