I am older than you think,

I have lost a lot of weight

But I am entrusted,

So come on just trust me

That I am older than you think.

I am lost inside you head.

You are walking in a daze

It's been so long now

So come on just say so

I am older than you think.

This is just another joke,

One that's made up by your friends,

This is just stupid

You know we could lose it

So I am older than you think.

You couldn't beat me if you try

Leave me trailing in your wake

I know I've done wrong

I've said it for so long

I am older than you think.

Now, I am just a little bored

Of being young all my life

You'd think I would know now

But I am losing count

I never want to act my age

Never want to be afraid

And we keep on trying

But I'm scared of dying

I am older than you think

I am older than you think

It's been nice to know you

Though I have to go now

This isn't meant to be goodbye.

Thankyou, my Lord!

yeah liked this. It's about people thinking your're a dumb ass just cus they're older. I like the feeling in this one, I wonder how you sing it. I can hear a nice lot of anger in it and heavy guitar, kinda upbeat and powerful. I see how a lot of your songs read like you've wrote them on a mad craze and they just flowed out, it's different to writing a poem I guess. Not as many restictions me thinks?

Yeah, you're totally correct about how i write most of them, and how this would sound! When we played it live it was always used to pick the crowd up after a slow one! Thanks for your feedback.

I like this one, although I can't really see a meaning behind it. you're really good, I have to know where I'm writing from before I can do anything xxx

Thanks Kate, I always appreciate it. I hardly ever start with a meaning, I prefer people to make their own out of it - if I was to give this one a meaning, I'd say it is possibly about the fear of growing up.
