[@savannahroberts1787]

hearing such honesty about growing older breaks my heart and puts it back together all at the same time

[@tinabadley6166]

This is such a beautiful. I saw Julia perform it live this week and I was choked up all the way through. It really struck a chord with me.

[@dusktildawn45]

Beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice.

I think I got them close(ish)
Lyrics:Don't let the kids win/Just let them lose/They're not going to learn anything/If that's how you choose to play/Don't let the kids win/Just let them fall/You don't want them growning up thinking/Six year olds are good at playing basketball/Don't let your grandmother die while you're away/Your cheap trip to Thialand is not going to make up for never getting to say goodbye/And don't let your brother stop thinking you're cool/Yeah I know he's got and girlrfriend now and he's taller/But that don't mean he stopped looking up to you/And I've got a feeling/That this won't ever change/We're going to keep on getting older/It's going to keep on feeling strange/Don't let your friends turn cold/While you burn to green/When they walk off the stage/Embrace them and say "that's the best shit I've ever seen"/And don't let your sister walk down the isle/Without pulling her close/Saying "I love you/ And it's okay if I don't see you for awhile"/And I've got a feeling/That this won't ever change/We're going to keep on getting older/It's going to keep on feeling strange/And don't let the time going by/Without sitting your mother down/And asking what her life was like for her before you came to be around/And tell her it's okay if she puts herself first/Us kids will be alright if we're not the centre of her universe/And I've got a feeling/That this won't ever change/We're going to keep on getting older/It's going to keep on feeling strange/And after a little/I don't know anything/It's that the more I keep on talking/The less breath I've got left to sing/

[@chrisswan1591]

Wow i just read the lyrics when i listened to this song. I think your like 99.99% spot on, except at the end i think its "/And after a late one/" instead of "/And after a little/"

Don't let the kids win
Just let them lose
They're not gonna learn anything
If that's the way you choose to play
Don't let the kids win
Just let them fall
You don't want them growing up thinking
Three year olds are good at playing basketball
Don't let your grandmother die
While you're away
A cheap trip to Thailand's not gonna make up
For never getting to say goodbye
And don't let your brother
Stop thinking you're cool
I know he's got a girlfriend now
And he's taller
But that don't mean
He's stopped looking up to you
I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange
Don't let your friends turn cold
While you burn to green
When they walk off the stage embrace them
And say that's the best shit I've ever seen
And don't let your sister
Walk down the aisle
Without pulling her close saying I love you and it's okay
If I don't see you for a while
I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange
Don't let the time go by
Without sitting your mother down
And asking what, life was like for her before you came
To be around and tell her it's okay
If she puts herself first
Us kids will be alright if we're not the centre of her universe
I've got a feeling
That this won't ever change
We're gonna keep on getting older
It's gonna keep on feeling strange and
After a late one, I don't know anything
Except the more I keep on talking
The less breath I got left to sing
