I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young

I see my life like a train on a oneway track
I've made mistakes and I couldn't take 'em back
And I've been runnin' round in circles till I'm dizzy I can't lie
But every night I go to sleep's a day that I survived

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young

And I've seen my friends fall away before their time
And I've been afraid that I may follow in their light
So I drink and love and whisper all the things I know are right
Someday I will leave this world but maybe not tonight

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young
I'm one less day from dying young

All my life I have been wondering
Burnin' up my candle like my time just won't end
And I'll keep burnin' till there's nothin' left
Prayin' that tomorrow I can do it all again
And if I get tomorrow I will do it all again

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young

I'm not afraid of getting older
I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light go past my shoulder
I'm one less day from dying young
I'm one less day from dying young

(I'm one less day from dying young
I see the light
I'm one less day from dying young
I'm one less day from dying young)
