ten years older - wicked messenger lyrics

Loading...

they told me at roll call the teacher laughed
when he saw we were both absent for english class
we thought we’d had a special secret
that n0body else knew about

i kissed her for the first time on the beach that day
she stood on a sandcastle to reach my face
i could still feel her lips tingle in place
on my cheek when i fell asleep at night

but before graduation she dumped me for davey
while i practicеd all i’d read about the stoics

and i wanted to bе ten years older
i wanted to be so much stronger
that i could take the slaps on the cheek
and turn my face back again

i didn’t think much about her for 8 years
until we bumped into each other at a gabba bar
she sat on a barstool, one leg on the floor
she held on to the table while she laughed

as the glasses piled up around us
she told me about her ex and lost babies
she told me about her mother’s stage 4
and the holiday they had to cancel
and i wanted to take her in my arms
hold her until all those things went away

and i wanted to be ten years older
i wanted to be so much stronger
that i could take the slaps on the cheek
and turn my face back again

she asked to share a ride but fell asleep on my shoulder
and i didn’t know where she lived so i put her on the couch
when i awoke about 5 to go to the toilet
she was sitting and crying

she said i could love her maybe if i ignored all the signs
and i held her for an hour and then held her hand
over coffee and five years later
i held her hand at the hospital

and we argued gently over names for boys
we made plans to tell people not to give us toys

and i wanted to be ten years older
i wanted to be so much stronger
that i could take the slaps on the cheek
and turn my face back again
