3 Years Older

[Verse 1: Steven Wilson] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Steven Wilson & Nick Beggs, Steven Wilson] 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 [Chorus: Steven Wilson] I can feel you more than you really know I will love you more than I'll ever show [Verse 2: Steven Wilson] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Steven Wilson & Nick Beggs, Steven Wilson] 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 three years older and you'll always be now [Chorus: Steven Wilson, Steven Wilson & Nick Beggs] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Steven Wilson & Nick Beggs] 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 [Chorus: Steven Wilson & Nick Beggs] 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 [Instrumental Outro]
