I Thought You Were Older
A drink and a dream all in a day
And no one can say you're too uptight
As flawed as you seem, cracked like a grenade
Thrown into orbit - a satellite
A king and a queen of death and decay
They can't find their way through the city lights
You say it's a shame, well I'll call it fame
And you can struggle together through a better life
I told you all I know
And it pains me so to say
That no one told me to go
I just know
This is as good as it gets
You're taking your orders
And standing in line
Back since the day that we met
I thought you were older
I thought you were mine
Oh, oh, ohhh
Avoiding your days and turning your nights
Into the places you come undone
But it's never real and it's never right
A license to drive me to a life on the run
Setting me up and knocking me down
Round after round until there's nothing to fight
You say it's a shame, well I'll call it fame
And we can struggle together through a better life
I told you all I know
And it pains me so to say
That no one told me to go
I just know
This is as good as it gets
You're taking your orders
And standing in line
Back since the day that we met
I thought you were older
I thought you were mine
Oh, oh, ohhh
When no one else is around
Oh, oh, ohhh
You get to feeling alone
Oh, oh, ohhh
Now baby don't let me down
Oh, oh, ohhh
I told you all I know
And it pains me so to say
That no one told me to go
I just know
This is as good as it gets
You're taking your orders
And standing in line
Back since the day that we met
I thought you were older
I thought you were mine
This is as good as it gets
You're taking your orders
And standing in line
Back since the day that we met
I thought you were older
I thought you were mine
Oh, oh, ohhh
And no one can say you're too uptight
As flawed as you seem, cracked like a grenade
Thrown into orbit - a satellite
A king and a queen of death and decay
They can't find their way through the city lights
You say it's a shame, well I'll call it fame
And you can struggle together through a better life
I told you all I know
And it pains me so to say
That no one told me to go
I just know
This is as good as it gets
You're taking your orders
And standing in line
Back since the day that we met
I thought you were older
I thought you were mine
Oh, oh, ohhh
Avoiding your days and turning your nights
Into the places you come undone
But it's never real and it's never right
A license to drive me to a life on the run
Setting me up and knocking me down
Round after round until there's nothing to fight
You say it's a shame, well I'll call it fame
And we can struggle together through a better life
I told you all I know
And it pains me so to say
That no one told me to go

Oh, oh, ohhh

Oh, oh, ohhh
Now baby don't let me down
Oh, oh, ohhh

You're taking your orders
And standing in line
Back since the day that we met
I thought you were older
I thought you were mine
This is as good as it gets
You're taking your orders
And standing in line
Back since the day that we met
I thought you were older
I thought you were mine
Oh, oh, ohhh
