Regina Spektor - Older and Taller lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 wise were the lies And the lies were on fire And the fires were put out just to be lit again [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] Enjoy your youth Sounds like a threat Enjoy your youth Sounds like a threat But I will anyway [Verse 3] 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 pa**ed [Chorus] You’re around ’til you’re not around And that’s all I need to know Every time you decide to stay Then the world will make you go And that’s all you need to know [Refrain] Enjoy your youth Sounds like a threat Enjoy your youth Sounds like a threat But I will anyway
