when you're old and lonely and the rush of life is past days go by too slowly and the years go by too fast

such a tragic passage. I find it to be a very bitter song, essentially saying you are going to regret deciding not to grow old with me. When love is unrequited, we all want to believe that that person of our affection is going to regret not being with us someday when they are old.
