jack curley - proud of me lyrics

[verse 1]
i always dreamed of being older
i was an enemy of time
i never looked over my shoulder
to see the child i left behind
now i’ve reached the age to savior the day
and now i’m realizing
the sun that we chase, it rises again
around the corner, then behind me

[pre+chorus]
so maybe i should look around and smile

[chorus]
oh
now i’m working for paychecks and drinking to forget it all
as i stare at the ceiling, too tired for dreaming
i feel so low
this is happiness you’re tеlling me
and now i’m old
if he could see, would my younger sеlf be proud of me?

[verse 2]
wish that one day when i’m older
standing at the finish line
i’m stepping up for rollercoaster
not a life of compromise (oh)
and i’ll be an age when my children say
“daddy, tell us ’bout your memories”
and i’ll sit them down and storytell how
i became the man they see
[chorus]
and oh
i was working for paychecks but threw them away, yeah
oh
your mother, she told me we’ll write our own story with words in gold
this is happiness, i’m telling you
but now i’m old
i can see that my younger self is proud of me
i can see my younger self is proud of me
oh

[bridge]
age is the one thing goes up don’t come down
i’m choosing the moments to make myself proud
age is the one thing goes up, don’t come down
i’m choosing the moments to make myself proud
age is the one thing goes up, don’t come down
i’m choosing the moments to make myself proud
age is the one thing goes up, don’t come down
i’ve learned that life’s secret is living for now

[chorus]
oh
we were working for paychecks but threw them away, yeah
it all
’cause this ain’t rehearsing, yeah, this is the real thing, now i know
this is happiness, i’m telling you
and now i’m old
i believe my younger self is proud of me
i believe my younger self is proud of me
i believe my younger self is proud of me
