Now that you're older
Taking the time to look
Back over your shoulder
To the days confusion took

Now that you're wiser
Surely you've learnt to read it
You should know
No surface shines brighter
Than the light that burns beneath it

Never so sure
We always take more
Though we still don't know what it's for

Now that I've seen you
Stripped to the very core
I know that I need you
Less than I did before

Never so sure
We always take more
Though we still don't know what it's for
