Lyrics Older - Birdy

Older

I wish that I was older
Old enough to be yours
And I wish that I was wiser
Wise enough to be strong-minded
To keep up with the words you say
That make me feel so young
But I don’t know where this is going
I’ve just been hoping
And I can see by your smile
That you’re glowing inside out
Let’s not pretend like it’s not what it is
When I’m just starting to realize
That I love you
And I wish that we were strangers
Strange enough to go unnoticed from this crowd
And I wish that we were closer
Close enough for me to hold you
When your lonely nights become too long to bear
You hold your head up high
Though it’s hard to
I can’t keep back
I know I just want you
I love you
