Lyrics
It only matters when it matters most I fell asleep a child and woke adult Now I complain my, body aches in pain

I try so hard to listen But most, you say I'm missing These ears don't work the same Forgetful they say, but I just can't place Where I left my brain Have I met my match? A stroke, a heart attack My fears are coming true Nothing I can do but

Stand here waiting for While Death comes knocking at my door Someone who can't let go Won't let go of me

Oh, I feel so broken An old person cliché It keeps me questioning "Did I lose out on something?" Was I happier this way? Alone I say, in my thinly numbered days It's clear; oh, I lost another year, so

Stand here waiting for While Death comes knocking at my door Someone who can't let go Won't let go of me

So it goes From the gallows pole I'll hang my broken heart Time will weigh The old against the new

Oh, here comes closure With his entourage of regrets He extends out his hand A card in his fingers He winks, wishes his best And so it reads Oh, not everybody needs someone It's okay to be alone, son

Stand here waiting for While Death comes knocking at my door Someone who can't let go Won't let go of me

Stand here waiting for While Death comes knocking at my door Someone who can't let go Won't let go of me
