Lyrics
3 Years Older
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You cross the schoolyard with your head held down
And walk the streets under the breaking cloud
With a 100 futures cascading out
It’s complicated
You think of love as just a memory
A fog that smothers you, its hard to breathe
But when you're on your own that’s when you're free
You're three years older
And you’ll always be now
I can feel you more than you really know
I will love you more than I’ll ever show
There was a time when someone seemed to care
A tourist in your bed you left him there
You found a simple life with no-one to share
It’s not complicated
You make a list of all your big regrets
You share with people that you never met
You slowly move towards the medicine chest
You're three years older
And you’ll always be now
I can feel you more than you really know
I will love you more than I’ll ever show
You only have to say
And the world will slip away
From you
Shame on you for getting older every day
This place is not for you so why do you still stay?
You stand there with the other fuckers in the rain
Life is not some sinecure for you to pay
You have to pay
I can feel you more than you really know
I will love you more than I’ll ever show
You only have to say
And the world will slip away
From you
