Better With Age 

(T. Molek) 

V-1 

How much truth and honesty could I give to you and be never feeling the need to run? 

Cuz it--always seems to me, when I give the more it takes for me to get myself back to one.  

But if you shiver in the wind like a leaf on branch that’ll never bend you might lose all the days you tried to call your best and you’ll find 

That like a fine wine it takes a while—till then I’ll crack a quiet smile 

And just keep pressing on and hope that fate might do the rest, so/I…  

PRE: 

How far am I going?  No one will ever be knowing, 

Why I—I take it inside yes I break down my pride but I keep it all inside till I 

Redline—It’s a song about pain but my deadline is a joy all the same so I 

Dig down and I write another page, put my life on the stage and just hope I get better with age (try to find a way to guage) 

V-2 

You know you have to go away before you come back home to stay 

And not just roll the dice, cuz in this world you feel like a stranger. 

But I still tear myself apart—but I have known right from the start 

It takes some thinking twice before you can go make a change (oh).  

These old habits they die hard, and if you’re holding wild cards your time might drift Away—No time to pray for what you lost when 

You were joking with your soul and found another way to lose control and 

Wish you could buy back that time no matter what the cost but my friend, 

PRE2: 

I’m always making a mistake when I breathe in, I guess I’d better hit the breaks and I 

Don’t know how much I can take but I guess I’d better take it and whatever for the sake of what a 

Cause and Effect of my disguise does—I’m getting old but never any wiser— 

I sit down and I write another page, I put my life on the stage and just hope I’ll get better with age: 

CHORUS: 

I know I’m not the best, and not better than the rest, and so I’m asking that you— 

Would help me turn the page and find some way to gauge, how/when I’ll get better with 

age.  

V-3 

Yes I’ll regret some things I say, and by the weight of the price that I’ll have to pay, 

My father won’t be here much longer. 

And as my mother falls apart, another girl will break my lonely heart 

But you can’t let anger live—find more to give, it’ll make you stronger. 

But if I’m keeping my distance I might not see the consequence 

Of what my younger days have tried to say about where I’m going. 

So I’ll just breathe another breath and find myself one step from death 

And just try not to make the same mistake cuz now I’m knowing… 

PRE/PRE2/CHORUS—end
