about

I wrote this after having my beautiful Maton FG150 12-string brought back to life by Simon the Guitar Man in Bermagui. They say that getting a new instrument (in this case getting an old instrument back in playable condition) is an inspiration to write, and that was certainly the case with this song.

While this is technically a solo effort by Neil, it wouldn't have ended up with quite the same polish without Joe Cannon's reflection, suggestions and great ears.

About the joys of septugenerianism.

It's getting later than you think!

lyrics

A Little Bit Older
©2022 Neil Porter

V1
We’re a little bit older now
Just a little bit more resistant
We’re feeling less like we’ve been lost at sea
We’re a little bit bolder now
Just a little bit more persistent
We’re feeling more like where we want to be

Ch
She’s alone with her piano
He’s become a setting sun
Looking out the winter window
We are not the only ones

V3
We’re a little bit worse for wear
Just a little bit less consistent
We’re maybe getting closer to the tee
We’re a little bit out of breath
Might need a bit more assistance
This is the way that things are gonna be

Ch
She’s alone with her piano
He’s become a setting sun
Looking out the winter window
We are not the only ones

BRIDGE

V4
We were just so unprepared
Feeling inconsequential
But we are mostly where we want to be
We’re a little bit overdressed
Stay a little bit under cover
We’re feeling less like we’ve been lost at sea

Ch
She’s alone with her piano
He’s become a setting sun
Looking out the winter window
We are not the only ones
