Story Behind The Song

Getting older

Lyrics

I Lost It

My friends came pick me up for a night on the town
I know they think I'm in a mid-life meltdown
On the way there I whined about the long drive
Right off the bat I got on their bad side
It was an OK night but my back started to hurt
Once again I ruined their night like a jerk

Next Sunday I went and joined a soccer league
To spend all day home is the last thing I need
On my first sprint I pulled my right calf
All my team-mates were trying hard not to laugh
Maybe I'll stick to either bowling or golf
Well that statement pretty much says it all

Chorus
I don't know if it happened through time or overnight
I only know that lately I ain't been feeling quite right
I might've lost a step or two but that I expect
But anything I do now leaves me so fricking wrecked
Man I feel so lame, I think I lost it
I know it'll never be the same, I think I lost it

I used to look in the mirror with a sense of pride
But new wrinkles and beer gut are so tough to hide
I used to look so good after my tanning bed
Now I walk around like the living dead
Why is life so cruel I'm not asking for much
I need magical healing or some cosmic dust

I guess I should be glad that I'm still around
Someday not so far I'll be heaven bound
There's a hard price to pay as years roll on by
You don't age like good wine that's a blatant lie
But gladly there's still a part of me that works
Cause losing that for sure would be a real curse

Bridge
They say life's a gift and I'm fine with that
But living life like this is just a drag

Repeat horus
