[Verse 1]
Mom, will please come pick me up?
'Cause it's scary on my own
And gettin' older really sucks
I'll put my head upon your shoulders
Cry, I just need to hold you
Mom, can I come home? I've given up
Dad, can you show me a little love?
'Cause he broke my heart again
Yeah, you warned me quite enough
Can you put me back together
Dress me for the weather
Just like you did when I was young

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we live and learn
But my God it hurts

[Chorus]
One day closer
Wе're all older
Hope I showеd you how
Much I loved you
When all I hold you
And I, I give all you too
I get older 'cause
One day closer
[Verse 2]
Wish I’d answered when you called
Didn't know it'd be the last
Or I'd have time to talk
People grow and people change
People die, ain't it strange?
All the time we have, it ain't enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we live and learn
But my God it hurts

[Chorus]
One day closer
We're all older
Hope I showed you how
Much I loved you
When all I hold you
And I, I give all you too
I get older 'cause
One day closer
One day closer

[Outro]
Hope my sisters found true love
I hope my brothers keep the strength
When it gets tough
People grow and people change
People die, ain't it strange
All the time we have, it ain't enough
