ten years older

only 9 days away from my 31st birthday and although i was planning on posting this song then i thought why not early.  i figured that it was meant to be sine today the latest interview from jarrod was posted (link added below).  each time i listen to the devil's made a new friend i find that most of jarrod's lyrics hit really close to home on a very personal and meaningful level.  ten years older is about the pain of regret and the affects it has on us over time.  there are few things that i truly regret in life but this song makes me stop and think long and hard about those few things.  i feel like this song is pleading at me to make a change and live the remainder of my life regret free.

check out the latest jarrod gorbel interview

one day you woke up ten years older
you taken prison like a soldier
you left your home for what seemed noble
give anything to do it over

alone now, there must be some other way
to control how your anger turns into rage

cause i know, i know life's so unfair
used to escape under the brilliant glare
it's the high that conquered you
stole the soul from the friend that we knew

well everyday it's something else
divert the blame from yourself
cause you can never do wrong
feels so good to be alone now
for too long now you've been misunderstood
all alone now go and save yourself

cause i know, i know life's so unfair
used to escape under the brilliant glare
it's the high that conquered you
stole the soul from the friend that we knew

well are the rumors true?
did your family rescue you?
cause you pushed everyone else away
i've heard so many things
don't know what to think
did you really try to put it all to an end?

cause i know, i know life's so unfair
used to escape under the brilliant glare
it's the high that conquered you
stole the soul from the friend that we knew
