Story Behind The Song
My partner and I were working on a new cd and we needed more material for it so instead of writing your typical love story, I decided to look towards something that has meant a great deal to us in the past few years.

Lyrics
OLDER
VERSE
HELLO OUT THERE YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
YOU FINALLY DID IT THIS TIME
YOU PROMISED THAT WE WOULD BE SAFE IN YOUR HANDS
BUT WE IT WAS NO SURPRISE
YOU SIT IN YOUR CHAIRS WITH YOUR PAPERS AND PENS
AND OFFER TO FEED US GALORE
BUT NOW YOU CAN SEE THAT THE WARNING YOU HAD
WAS SOMETHING AND SOMETHING QUITE MORE
BUT WE?RE OLDER NOW
WE?RE OLDER NOW
CHORUS
THIS IS FOR THE ONES WHO JUST COULDN?T SEE
WHO HAD ENOUGH TIME BUT NEVER BELIEVED
THIS IS FOR THE ONES WHO PLAY WITH OUR LIVES
AND THIS IS FOR THE ONES
THE ONES WHO WILL ALWAYS SURVIVE
VERSE
WE WORK FOR OUR PAY THAT YOU TAKE AWAY
AND SPEND ALL OUR MONEY WITH EASE
YOU TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH POLITICAL MINDS
AND HELP ALL THE ONES WHO SAY PLEASE
HELLO OUT THERE I?M TAKING TO YOU
DID YOU LEARN ALL YOUR LESSONS THIS TIME
WAS IT WORTH ALL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PUTTING US THROUGH
DO YOU THINK OH NOW EVERYTHING?S FINE
WELL WE?RE OLDER NOW
WE?RE OLDER NOW
(BACK TO CHORUS)
