Tom Odell
Grow Old with Me - Commentary
[Verse 1]
I can feel you breathing
With your hair on my skin
As we lie here within the night

[Verse 2]
I think it's the oldest track on my album
And it's the first track on the album as well
I spent Christmas
Huh... with my grandparents, and
Huh... I sat, I sat on the bed kind of
Huh... on my own
I remember looking at the sheets and that's when the lyric came up

[Verse 3]
I'll pull the sheets
When it's cold on your feet
'Cause you'll fall back to sleep every time

[Verse 4]
And for me, I don't know, once I heard that lyric this whole song made sense to me
And, and I feel like from that point it all sort of came to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Make me hurt, make mе come
Make me feel likе I'm real and alive
(Oh, and a-one, two, three, four!)
[Chorus]
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see

[Verse 5]
It didn't work the first time
But I had, I had, huh...
It always seemed to work live, so we just kinda kept at it
Huh... but, I love playing live
It's a really fun, fun song to do
