Now I′m looking for a seat at the table

And I'm checking for my stop on the train

Everyone looks younger than I remember

Tell me when did that change?

When the hell did that change?

So when I lay me down to sleep

I pray to time my youth to keep but

Ooh, it′s inevitable

So don't try to fight it

I play the art of moving slow

But how much longer down the road

Can I hold out?

Because

I can't keep up with the cradle

I′Il just stay young in my mind

Holding my seat at the table

Am I getting off here, getting off here this time?

Now I look at every face at the party

And I wonder did I get here too late?

Cuz every day feels like I′m just getting started

They say that age ain't nothing but a number now

But when you add ′em all up it's kind of getting me down

So when I lay me down to sleep

I pray to time my youth to keep but

Ooh, it′s inevitable

So don't try to fight it

When all my friend are telling me

I′m right where I'm supposed to be

What do they know?

Because

I can't keep up with the cradle

I′Il just stay young in my mind

Holding my seat at the table

Am I getting off here, getting off here this time?

They say that age ain′t nothing but a number now

But when you add 'em all up it′s kind of getting me down

They say that age ain't nothing but a number now

But when you add ′em all up it's kind of getting me down

Wait a minute

The more that I think about it

I′ve never ever looked so beautiful, baby

As I do now, baby

I'm sorry for saying "I quit"

But if I do it's only because

I can′t keep up with the cradle

When the hell did that change?

Holding my seat at the table

Am I getting off here, getting off here?

Getting off here, getting off here this time?

I can′t keep up with the cradle

I'Il just stay young in my mind

Holding my seat at the table

Am I getting off here, getting off here this time?

They say that age ain′t nothing but a number now

But when you add 'em all up it′s kind of getting me down

They say that age ain't nothing but a number now

But when you add ′em all up it's kind of getting me down
