Sneakout - "The Art of Hanging On"
from the "Letting Go Mixtape" (Fall 2014)

lyrics

Oh here we are, hearing the ticking going faster on the wall,
We never thought the hand was moving none at all,
But now we see that time is coming from behind, slowly inching from behind when we used to look ahead.
We never thought a day would come not feeling bored,
Well here it is and you don't want it anymore,
What would you trade just for a second of the days, that you couldn't even take, you couldn't even take?

We learn the art, the art of hanging on,
We aren't alone, alone in aging none, alone, alone.
We learn to play the part of reasonable,
But oh we are the kinds of letting go,
Yes we are the stars of getting old.

Oh it begins, the very moment seeing a wrinkle on your skin,
It wasn't something that you ever thought you'd get,
But now you got it and another gray hair, and you see them everywhere, you were skipping now you're scared.
Well you're gonna have to live with what you got,
You were a kid but then they taught you how to stop,
And you ain't ever gonna slow this moving rock, on it's trip around the sun, not a thing we've ever done.

We learn the art, the art of hanging on,
We aren't alone, alone in aging none, alone, alone.
We learn to play the part of reasonable,
But oh we are the kinds of letting go,
Yes we are the stars of getting old.
