lyrics
In a blink of the eye
We've seen 10 years go by
Back then we'd drink into the night
Until the sun began to rise
Nowadays it's like a dream
Almost a movie scene
Nostalgia fills the memories
And makes recalling them so sweet
So she turns to me
Always so patiently
Sometimes the truth is hard to take
But she still looks at me and says
We're not getting any younger
There's no need to be ashamed
Just stacking up your secrets
As the flame begins to fade
And is it really any wonder
That we need to medicate
It's just another vice to feed
Cracks in your smile give it away
Sometimes we put our wants
Ahead of all our needs
We're all wired up the same
Our desires make us complete
Look at how far we've come
Further than anyone
We built a life out on our own
We called so many places home
Now my patience frays
More and more these days
I try my best to keep the peace
I still struggle 'cause it means
We're not getting any younger
There's no need to be ashamed
Just stacking up your secrets
As the flame begins to fade
And is it really any wonder
That we need to medicate
It's just another vice to feed
Cracks in your smile give it away
Another night out in the trenches
We sit and wait for day to break
Right now were holding our defenses
But they'll learn to communicate
I hope you know in the beginning
Is how I still feel to this day
I've let the pressures leave me jaded
Cracks in my smile on full display
No one's getting any younger
There's no need to be afraid
Just packing up your dreams
As the last song begins to play
Did somebody steal your thunder
When you went the extra mile
it can be today's excuse
Another crack earned for your smile
We've seen 10 years go by
Back then we'd drink into the night
Until the sun began to rise
Nowadays it's like a dream
Almost a movie scene
Nostalgia fills the memories
And makes recalling them so sweet
So she turns to me
Always so patiently
Sometimes the truth is hard to take
But she still looks at me and says
We're not getting any younger
There's no need to be ashamed
Just stacking up your secrets
As the flame begins to fade
And is it really any wonder
That we need to medicate
It's just another vice to feed
Cracks in your smile give it away
Sometimes we put our wants
Ahead of all our needs
We're all wired up the same
Our desires make us complete
Look at how far we've come
Further than anyone
We built a life out on our own
We called so many places home
Now my patience frays
More and more these days
I try my best to keep the peace
I still struggle 'cause it means
We're not getting any younger
There's no need to be ashamed
Just stacking up your secrets
As the flame begins to fade
And is it really any wonder
That we need to medicate
It's just another vice to feed
Cracks in your smile give it away
Another night out in the trenches
We sit and wait for day to break
Right now were holding our defenses
But they'll learn to communicate
I hope you know in the beginning
Is how I still feel to this day
I've let the pressures leave me jaded
Cracks in my smile on full display
No one's getting any younger
There's no need to be afraid
Just packing up your dreams
As the last song begins to play
Did somebody steal your thunder
When you went the extra mile
it can be today's excuse
Another crack earned for your smile
