You Were Too Old for Me Songtext
von PAS/CAL

You were too old for me
Although there was some apprehension
The plan was to wait and see
What God alone has brought together
Well, must be something
Well, it must be something

Much too old for me
All the shortness of breath and the missteps never
Well, they never really fazed me
And all your old stories of war and depression
Well, well, they were really something
Were they really something?
Well, they must be something

Not long ago
But far away
Away, away, away
You were the world
And virgins only
Somewhere, did she go wrong?


You can call me what you want to
You know I tried to take your name
Wanna make it all better
But your past got in front of me
No, I didn′t believe them when they told me all was a lie
And I'm not listening now when they try to tell me
That worms make homes in your eyes when you die

Because everybody needs someone they can pray to
Well, well, well
Everybody needs the one thing that′s untouchable
Oh, and I've got you
And if anything I know is true
You ain't going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon

You were too old for me, you know
And everyone was talking ′bout you
While the heads were turned
Looking into each other′s eyes through blood and film
Oh, oh

No, I could not speak to you
Every little thing you ever did wrong
Was washed all away from the day I was born
And from the day I was born
Well, it's just what I thought
Well, it′s just what I thought


It's like ages ago
And time rages on
And on and on and on

Coulda called you if I wanted
Knew the number to your room
I thought it would be so much smarter
To just stay in
Just stay in
Just stay in
Just stay in

No, I didn′t believe them when they told me you lost all your hair
And I'm not listening now when they sway
From their free-floating fish in the air
Because everybody needs someone they can pray to
I know I do, yeah
Everybody needs the one thing that′s untouchable
Oh, and I've got you
And I don't give a damn if what they say is the truth
Because everybody needs a little thing just like you

Oh, everybody needs someone they can pray to
Oh, oh, oh
Everybody needs the one thing that′s untouchable
Oh, and I′ve got you
And if anything I know is true
You ain't going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon

You ain′t going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon

You ain't going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon

You ain′t going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon
Going anywhere soon

You ain't going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere

Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere

Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
Going anywhere
