First Regret / 3 Years Older - Steven Wilson

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, its 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’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…
