I used to count cards when I was six
Playin' them games, I knew all the little tricks
Every other kid on the block must've thought that I was bluffin'
Back in the day when I was four foot nothin'
Now I'm grown--I got a little kick in my step,
A little cruise in my walk, a little smooth in my talk
I'm just a regular hermitly curmudgeon-to-be
Sayin', "Get off my lawn, ya damn dirty hippie!"

But it's a shame, you see
'Cause that just ain't me
And it's painful to feel it fadin' gradually
But there's no runnin'
In fact I know my day is comin'
My sun's a-gonna set so it'd be best to get gunnin' into action
Ain't got the time for no distractions, so I push 'em all away
Everybody, everyday without exception
Yeah I know it's excessive, so I oughta count my blessings
And just take it to heart, learn a lesson 'cause

No, no, no, no
I think I'm alone again
No, no, no, no
I know how this ends
No, no, no, no
I think I'm alone again
No, no, no, no
I know how this ends

A lazy Friday, just layin' down thinkin' of stars
An old friend from outta town was up to meet at the bar
I didn't dress to impress, I wasn't lookin' my best
But I rolled out, put my self-doubt to rest
No expectations, when I walked in through the door
As it turns out, there was quite a few folks more
And then me, the hermitly curmudgeon-to-be
Sayin', "Get off my lawn, ya damn dirty hippie!"

Well, never in my life did I think that I would see
Another stunner of a lover take an interest in me
So I didn't presume as she scanned the room
But she sat in the seat directly to my three
It was a chill vibe, the atmosphere felt alive
Conversationally, I was just along for the ride
We got to talkin', bout everything from this to that
And chit to chat, man it was phat
Then I cracked a solid quick-witted quip
Got the whole room cheesin'!
Looked in her direction and I gotta say
I finally saw the way that her cheeks formed into a smile
As she crinkled up her nose with that glint in her eye
Yeah it was somethin'
Livin' the dream just for a moment
All was exactly as it seemed for a moment
We caught each other's eyes and I could tell she was a catch
And even though we were a match, I knew better
Don't get too attached

No, no, no, no
I think I'm in love again
No, no, no, no
I know how this ends
No, no, no, no
I think I'm in love again, I am
No, no, no, no
I know how this ends

'Cause it never ends
No, it never ends
Oh no
Yeah, it never ends
No, it never ends
Uh huh
Aw yeah
Alright
