The third track on Silversun Pickups‘ 2009 album Swoon. “Growing Old Is Getting Old” is inspired by the band’s experiences performing live for a long time, which in turn has allowed them to reflect on what they’ve done and what they want to do.

Put out the need for guidance
Put out your own devices
Don't be afraid of the cold
Afraid of the cold, afraid over time
You've got nowhere to go but here
