Growing Old On Bleecker Street

Growing Old On Bleecker Street
AJR Lyrics

I'll take my time
I'll take my time
You cannot rush

And its tough believing
There's someone living out there
Happier than me
Happier than me

We may be lost
And gone forever
The rain will wash our memory
But when we cry
We cry together
Like it was meant to be

I woke up last night from a dream
That we'd grow old on Bleecker Street
Sit by the fire and I'd play my guitar
But dreams are only dreams

And then I wonder when we leave
Will the moon still be white
And the river green
Sometimes I wonder if we matter at all
If we're not written down
Who will remember now

We may be lost
And gone forever
The rain will wash our memory
But when we cry
We cry together
Like it was meant to be

We may be lost
And gone forever
The rain will wash our memory
But when we cry

We cry together
Like it was meant to be

The song "Growing Old On Bleecker Street" by AJR talks about the importance of companionship in life. The opening lines suggest a sense of hopelessness and despair when you are alone. The lyrics communicate that having someone who can walk alongside you is an essential aspect of life. The line "No point in crying without that someone there beside you" emphasizes the importance of having a support system that can offer words of encouragement and comfort.

The chorus highlights the fact that life is unpredictable, and we do not know what the future holds for us. In the song, the singer expresses his desire to take his time and wait for the right things to happen. When he says, "You cannot rush what can't be timed," he implies that he understands the importance of patience and is willing to wait for the right person to come along.

The second stanza talks about the fleeting nature of life and how the memories of our existence may fade away. The line, "Sometimes I wonder if we matter at all" shows that the singer is struggling with feelings of insignificance. The song ends on a hopeful note, implying that people may forget everything about us except the moments we cried together. In essence, the song speaks to the human need for meaningful relationships and how significant those connections can be in our lives.

No point in dreaming if you're alone
Dreams are meant to be shared

No point in walking without the road
Life has no direction without a goal

No point in crying without that someone there beside you Saying it will be OK
Sometimes we need someone to comfort us in hard times

I'll take my time I'll take my time You cannot rush What can't be timed
Some things in life take time and cannot be rushed

And its tough believing There's someone living out there Happier than me Happier than me
Jealously can be a difficult emotion to manage

We may be lost And gone forever The rain will wash our memory But when we cry We cry together Like it was meant to be
We should cherish the memories we make with each other, even if they don't last forever

I woke up last night from a dream That we'd grow old on Bleecker Street Sit by the fire and I'd play my guitar But dreams are only dreams
Growing old with someone you love is a beautiful dream, but we should appreciate the present rather than just dreaming of the future

And then I wonder when we leave Will the moon still be white And the river green Sometimes I wonder if we matter at all If we're not written down Who will remember now
We may not be remembered in the future, but we should still strive to make a positive impact in the present
