Avett Brothers - Backwards With Time lyrics

Folk always told me that my heart would grow The older the man, yeah, the stronger the stone Am I losing my mind? Am I growing backwards with time? Some say with age that a purpose comes clear I see the opposite happening here Are we losing the fight? Are we growing backwards with time? I was young and love was fun Now it's so serious Now all the fun has equal pain There's something wrong with this For all I know there's more I don't Oh the little I have learned For every year of knowledge gained Is a negative year I've earned Folk always told me that my heart would grow The older the man, yeah, the stronger the stone Am I losing my mind?
