[Chorus]
At my age, how quickly things change
The older I get, the less stays the same
The days fade, but with you I feel safe
So I count the freckles on your face
Keeps me sane, nothing changes them
[Verse 1]
Most of the time I feel lost in my twenties
I'm still afraid of the dentist and have acne
One, two, three, four, count 'em on my hand
All the people I still let hurt me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
This morning I fell on the pavement
It hurt but it felt so simple
Haven't donе that since age sevеn
When did I get so fearful?
[Chorus]
At my age, how quickly things change
The older I get, the less stays the same
The days fade, but with you I feel safe
So I count the freckles on your face
Keeps me sane, nothing changes them
[Verse 2]
Nobody really knows it, but I'd love to learn to dance
It's on the list of things I'd do if I took a chance
Now it's almost July and here I am again
As impulsive as a weather vane
[Pre-Chorus 2]
This morning I fell on the pavement
I bled and it felt so fickle
Took it as some kind of lesson
When did I get so fearful?
[Chorus]
At my age, how quickly things change
The older I get, the less stays the same
The days fade, but with you I feel safe
So I count the freckles on your face
Keeps me sane, nothing changes them
[Bridge]
Think of the things you wanted before you grew up
Films that you couldn't see 'cause you weren't old enough
Looked up to your brother 'cause he's so tough
Back when everything made sense to us
[Pre-Chorus 3]
This morning I fell on the pavement
It hurt but it felt so simple
Haven't done that since age seven
When did I get so fearful
This morning I fell on the pavement
I bled and it felt so fickle
Took it as some kind of lesson
When did I get so fearful?
[Outro]
At my age, how quickly things change
The older I get, the less stays the same
The days fade, but with you I feel safe
So I count the freckles on your face
I count the freckles on your face

The catalyst to finally finishing this song was that recently I fell over on the pavement and grazed my knee. I hadn’t done that in a very long time. The context that made this moment poignant to me was that I was confronting my mental health properly for the first time in my life and it was a compl...
