older Lyrics

In another world

It's me and you 

Driving our kids to school 

In that universe 

You shoot some hoops

After ring toss in the pool 

And we pick tomatoes for the salad 

And chop them roughly with the greens 

And you pick the record as I squeeze your shoulder 

And we do this every night and we grow older 

In another life

We drive out east

For our anniversary 

And for twenty-five

Maybe thirty

We plant a willow tree

And we pick tomatoes for the salad 

And chop them roughly with the greens 

And you pick the record as I squeeze your shoulder 

And we do this happily as we grow older 

It's not the one we're living 

It's not the one we're in

But can't you almost taste them

Can't you feel their skin

We won't pick tomatoes for the salad 

And chop them roughly with the greens 

You won't pick the record as I squeeze your shoulder 

We won't do this anymore as we grow older 

So I'll pick tomatoes for the salad 

And chop them roughly with the greens 

You can't pick the record as I squeeze your shoulder 

You can't do it but you know you'll still grow older
