Steven Wilson - 3 Years Older lyrics

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, it's 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 f**ers 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
