I Just Wanted You To Get Old Lyrics - How I Knew Her - Nataly Dawn

I just wanted you to get old, 

Like the army-green Volvo, 

And the toys we sold, 

Like the books that you read me, 

And the jokes you told, 

I just wanted you to get old. 

I just wanted you to get old. 

Like vacations in Tahoe 

And your skiing poles, 

The ones I held onto tightly 

'Til you said, "let go", 

I just wanted you to get old. 

And I'm sorry that I never get around 

To picking up the phone 

Or staying home. 

I swear to God that 

I must be the worst person I've found. 

Tell me, would it be too late to appreciate you? 

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.. 

'Cause I still want you to get old. 

Please forgive me, I know it doesn't always show, 

But I'll try to be better if you don't let go, 

I just want you to get old.
