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
