Proud Of Me Testo

I always dreamed of being older
I was an enemy of time
I never looked over my shoulder
To see the child I left behind
Now I've reached the age to savior the day
And now I'm realizing
The sun that we chase it rises again
Around the corner then behind me

So maybe I should look around and smile
Oh
Now I'm working for paychecks and drinking to forget
It all
As I stare at the ceiling too tired for dreaming
I feel so low
This is happiness you're telling me
And now I'm old
If he could see would my youngest self be proud of me

Wish that one day when I'm older
Standing at the finished line
I'm stepping up for rollercoaster
Not a life of compromise
Oh and I'll be in age when my children say
"Daddy tell us about your memories"
And I'll sit them down and storytell how
I became the man they see

And oh I was working for paychecks but threw them away yeah
Oh
Yeah mother she told me we write our own story
With words in gold
This is happiness I'm telling you
But now I'm old
I can see that my younger self is proud of me
I can see my younger self is proud of me
Oh

Age is the one thing goes up don't come down
I'm choosing the moments to make myself proud
Age is the one thing goes up don't come down
I'm choosing the moments to make myself proud
Age is the one thing goes up don't come down
I'm choosing the moments to make myself proud
Age is the one thing goes up don't come down
I've learned the life's secret is living for now

Oh
We were working for paychecks but threw them away yeah
It all
Cause this ain't rehearsing yeah this is the real thing
Now I know
This is happiness I'm telling you
And now I'm old
I believe my younger self is proud of me
I believe my younger self is proud of me
I believe my younger self is proud of me
