Cha-Ching (Till We Grow Older) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Hey!) I don't sleep so well at night
Waiting up and shivering
Heater's gone and money's tight
In this little home that I'm living in

[Refrain]
You've gotta live your life
While your blood is boiling
Those doors won't open
While you stand and watch them

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
What is with you?
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
I've never seen this side of you

Oh-oh oh-oh oh
What is with you?
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
I've never seen this side of you (Hey!)

[Chorus]
We are all living, till we grow older
You be the worker, I'll be the soldier
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling

[Verse 2]
I don't think it's quite the same
Just running out to feel the rain
Staring as the stars parade
Are they telling me it's gonna be okay?

[Refrain]
You've gotta live your life
While your blood is boiling
Those doors won't open
While you stand and watch them

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
What is with you?
Oh-oh oh-oh oh
I've never seen this side of you (Hey!)

[Chorus]
We are all living, till we grow older
You be the worker, I'll be the soldier
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling

[Bridge]
Oh, oh oh
Oh-oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Oh-oh, oh oh

Oh, oh oh
Oh-oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Oh-oh, oh oh

Oh, oh oh
Oh-oh, oh oh (Margana on si ereht)
Oh, oh oh
Oh-oh, oh oh (Margana on si ereht)

Oh, oh oh
Oh-oh, oh oh (Margana on si ereht)
Oh, oh oh
Oh-oh, oh oh (Margana on si ereht)

[Chorus]
We are all living, till we grow older
You be the worker, I'll be the soldier
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling

[Chorus]
We are all living, till we grow older (Older, till we're older)
You be the worker, I'll be the soldier (Till we're older, till we're older)
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling (Till we're older, till we're older)
I never hear those sounds that sing to me, cha ching, cha ching, cha ching-a-ling (Till we're older, till we're older)

[Outro]
(Older, till we're older)
(Till we're older, till we're older)
(Till we're older, till we're older)
(Till we're older, till we're older)

(Older, till we're older)
(Till we're older, till we're older)
(Till we're older, till we're older)
(Till we're older, till we're older)

About

Cha-Ching (Till We Grow Older) is the 12th song on Imagine Dragons' first full-length album, Night Visions. The song could be describing the struggle of ordinary people in the world of business with lines like ‘You’ll be the worker, I’ll be the soldier’.

However, many of the band’s lyrics (mostly written by Dan Reynolds) are written to be ambiguous and interpreted by the listener, as seen in a quote from the bassist, Ben McKee:

Dan writes all the lyrics. He tries to write lyrics that are not so definitive. He focuses on something he’s feeling and tries to translate that into lyrics and a mood that people can connect with and attach their own meaning to. We leave the meanings of all our songs a little bit to listeners’ interpretation.
