Older and Taller

LETRA

Older and Taller

I remembered you older and taller
But you’re younger and smaller
So who’s gonna call her and say
That you’re back again

And all the lies, they were wiser
And the wise were the liars
And the liars were on fire
And the fires were put out
Just to be lit again

You’re alone ’til you’re not alone
And that’s all you need to know
Every time you decide to stay
Then the world will make you go
And that’s all you need to know

All the debts they got settled
And the settlers got cattle
But the cattle was rattled
By the snakes that were guarding
The garden gates
And you retired just in time
You were about to be fired
For being so tired
From hiring the ones who will take your place

All the lies on your resume
Have become the truth by now
And the things that you never did
Have become your youth somehow
You know everything by now

Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a threat
Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a threat
But I will anyway

I remembered you older and taller
But you’re younger and smaller
So who’s gonna call her and say
That you’re here at last
And all the days they were longer
And the drinks they were stronger
The words we sang wrong
But the songs were remembered
And time just passed

You’re around ’til you’re not around
And that’s all you need to know
Every time you decide to stay
Then the world will make you go
And that’s all you need to know

Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a threat
Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a threat
But I will anyway…
