Billie Eilish – When I Was Older
When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I’m underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I’m underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
So I can cry for my age, my life and my face
And I will wash off all the dirty, dirty thoughts I had about you
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That’s an order!
I hate that it seemed you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding but never gave up
And I hope that I sing through your memory
As we echo through time in the melody
On the eve of self destruction
On the eve of all can be
Thinking about you
Out of sight, out of line, am I losing my mind?
No more hope, no more lies, I need you right by my side
No master you belong to now
Out of sight, out of line, I think I’m losing my mind
As the years go on
As good friends leave us
Nobody is prepared for eternity
It was time without time
