Resist the Ages

I don't want to grow older
Because, you're that much closer
You're that much closer (to the grave)
Going back is so easy
Moving forward's so hard
Step by step
Breath by breath

I held her in my arms
And she clung to me, like
There was no tomorrow
I had to leave
So I said,
"I can't hold you forever,"
And she said
"You can try"
