3 Years Older

You cross the schoolyard with your head held down

And walk the streets under the breaking cloud

With a hundred 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 3 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 

And found a simple life with no one to share

It’s not complicated 



You make a list of all your big regrets

And share with people that you've never met

You slowly move towards the medicine chest 

You're 3 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're standing with the other fuckers in the rain

Life is not some sinecure for you to claim

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
