JJ Heller's song "Growing Older" reflects on the passage of time and the emotional challenges of change and loss. The lyrics express a struggle between holding on to what feels comfortable and safe versus moving forward into an uncertain future. There is a sense of longing for a close friend and a plea for strength to face the world alone. The song ultimately finds hope in trusting God's promises, affirming that even when the heart feels out of control, one can declare "it is well with my soul." It gently points to faith and reliance on God's guidance through difficult seasons.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Daylight fades
Daylight braking through
Daylight fades
Truth defeats my love for you
This day feels wrong
I know I can't talk to you
I must be strong
Or I might run back to you
And I cannot decide
Where my heart will abide
Close to you is comfortable
And safe
But just not right
And I cannot take much more of this
My heart is hanging by a thread
I'm tired of listening to my head so
Please...
Make this the last time
I face the world alone again
Oh how I miss my closest friend
But soon we'll see the evidence
He promises a happy end
So even thought my heart feels out of my control
I know that I can say it is well my soul
So take me through this shadowland
I pray that you will hold my hand
And teach me to be who I am in you
