there are so many songs about growing old together that are so sweet and that's great, but let's be real, some old people are creepy. figured i'd take the other end of the stick. elders can be cryptic, yet so is love (from what i gather)

lyrics

when we share a porch swing
and watch the kids running
you'll yell get off my lawn
ill be blushing and laughin'
as our rotten dog starts yappin'
and i'll melt into your arms

would you still love me
when i'm stiff and rickety
like a haunted floorboard?
through splinters and fake teeth
seasoned flesh sagging
my hag heart will always be yours

we’ll sit in the graveyard,
have a picnic with our friends
we’re the only breathers left
joan is in a stone,
billy’s in a tomb
and then there’s me and you

two decrepit dancers
bones achin' for answers
spinnin’ on sleeping souls
and should you rot first,
before i leave this earth
i would follow you into the dirt

would you still love me
when i'm stiff and rickety
like a haunted floorboard?
through splinters and fake teeth
seasoned flesh sagging
my hag heart will always be yours
