Older - Birdy

I wish that I was older

Old enough to be yours

And I wish that I was wiser

Wise enough to be strong-minded

To keep up with the words you say

That make me feel so young

But I don’t know where this is going

I’ve just been hoping

And I can see by your smile

That you’re glowing inside out

Let’s not pretend like it’s not what it is

When I’m just starting to realize

That I love you

And I wish that we were strangers

Strange enough to go unnoticed from this crowd

And I wish that we were closer

Close enough for me to hold you

When your lonely nights become too long to bear

You hold your head up high

Though it’s hard to

I can’t keep back

I know I just want you

I love you
