Take It From An Old Man

Take it from an old man
Time's just sand slipping past
We wanna hold it in our hands
But no one ever sees
What falls through the cracks
Take it from an old man
My mistakes have made me
And i am what i am
And though i dont believe in silver linings
I belive there's something in you
Something good is trying to break through
You might have to fight the good fight
And when you think you can't, you can
Take it from an old man.

Take it from an old man
The days don't stretch any longer
They've left tracks upon my skin
But i reckon made me stronger
But i believe there's something in you
Something you should be seeing too
Let it all on yourself at least one time
Cause honey win or lose
It's one hell of a ride.

It's one hell of a ride
And if you like the strength of your own
Honey, hold out your hands and
Take it from an old man.
