Lyrics:
Old Enough To Know Better
All the birds barely fit on the telephone line,
And I don’t have a watch, so I won’t keep the time.
And I have a sense of what’s right and wrong,
But your list of rules goes on and on, and on, and on, and on…and on.
(Chorus)
Old enough to know better but too young to resist,
Walking through the streets in the early morning mist,
Old enough to know better but too young to resist,
Walking through your life looking for what you’ve mist.
Well, you’ve got yours but you want mine,
And you own many things, but you cannot buy more time.
You’re younger now than you’ll ever be again.
What are you gonna do with the time that you’re given?
(Chorus)
I met an old man at a bar last night with a butterfly under his vest,
Flying above the words that were tattooed on his chest.
As I leaned into read them, he whispered them under his breath,
“Oh, I can fuck you up or I can love you to death.”
He said, ”I’m old enough to know better but I’m too young to resist,
Walking through the streets in the early morning mist,
Old enough to know better but I’m too young to resist,
Walking through my life looking for what I’ve missed.”
