I'm not afraid of gettin' older
I'm one less day from dyin' young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dyin' young

I see my life like a train with a one-way track
I've made mistakes, and I couldn't take 'em back
And I've been runnin' 'round in circles 'til I'm dizzy, I can't lie
But every night I go to sleep's a day that I survive

I'm not afraid of gettin' older
I'm one less day from dyin' young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dyin' young

And I've seen my friends fall away before their time
And I've been afraid that I may follow in their light
So I drink and love and whisper all the things I know are right
Someday, I will leave this world, but maybe not tonight

I'm not afraid of gettin' older
I'm one less day from dyin' young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dyin' young

All my life I have been wandering
Burnin' up my candle like my time just won't end
And I'll keep burnin' 'til there's nothin' left
Prayin' that tomorrow I can do it all again
And if I get tomorrow, I will do it all again

I'm not afraid of gettin' older
I'm one less day from dyin' young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dyin' young
