Going Grey Lyrics by Girlfriend Material

2017

[Intro]
I wish that I was going grey
Now that I'm not young anymore
And now that I’m not young anymore
The least that I can do
Is get old
So old

(One, two, three, four)

[Verse 1]
There's cobwebs in my head
I might as well be dead
It's been so long since I woke up in someone else’s bed
I'm stranded on the couch
I wanted to go out
But I forgot her name the second that it exited her mouth

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that I had all of the time in the world
I assumed my flag would always unfurl

[Chorus]
I wish that I was in my grave
Now that I'm not yours anymore
And now that I'm not yours anymore
The least that I can do is decay
And fade away

[Verse 2]
I bought the ticket that I thought would get me there
But when I got where I was going man it wasn't anywhere
I believed the music that I sang when I was young
These days all we do is smooth it out
Tell younger us to shut their mouths

[Pre-Chorus]
We promised us that if it was God in the van
Well we could drive forever (drive forever)

[Chorus]
I wish that I was in my grave
Now that I'm not yours anymore
And now that I'm not yours anymore
The least that I can do is decay
And fade away

I wish that I was going grey
Now that I'm not young anymore
And now that I’m not young anymore
The least that I can do
Is get old
So old

[Bridge]
If I walked down to the beach and let the ocean decide
Will you forget about all the shitty backup plans I tried
When whatever little songs that I have left to sing get sung
Will you remember me the way I lived when I was young?
