I didn't ask for it
I didn't invite it in
But age showed up one day

Went to bed having the same face
But I didn't wake up that way

The mirror will differ
My movement is stiffer
Age showed up one day

Why we don't like it
It's easy to sum
For it reminds us
Of what we'll become

I thought it'd come slower
It feels like a trick
The years are a blur
They go by so quick

I didn't expect it
Though probably should have
Age showed up one day

Went to bed having the same face
But I didn't wake up that way

My grey hair is taxing
My skin is relaxing
Age showed up one day

Why we don't like it
It's easy to sum
For it reminds us
Of what we'll become

No use in fighting
This is who you are
The price that you pay
For making it this far

I didn't ask for it
I didn't invite it in
But age showed up one day
