WHEN I WAS OLDER (Music Inspired By The Film ROMA)

[00:30.65] When I was older

[00:36.90] I was a sailor on an open sea

[00:55.40] But now I'm underwater

[01:01.89] And my skin is paler than it should ever be

[01:16.39] Hmm

[01:28.65] I'm on my back again

[01:32.90] Dreaming of a time and place

[01:35.14] Where you and I remain the best of friends

[01:39.40] Even after all this ends

[01:45.65] Can we pretend?

[01:51.15] I'm on my, I'm on my back again

[01:58.31] It's seeming more and more

[01:59.46] Like all we ever do is see how far it bends

[02:04.97] Before it breaks in half and then

[02:10.46] We bend it back again

[02:14.71] Guess I got caught in the middle of it

[02:17.96] Yes I've been taught, got a little of it

[02:20.47] In my blood, in my blood

[02:27.47] Memories burn like a forest fire

[02:30.72] Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud

[02:36.71] In the flood

[02:44.96] When I was older

[02:51.11] I was a sailor on an open sea

[03:09.87] But now I'm underwater

[03:16.12] And my skin is paler than it should ever be

[03:31.86] I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never

[03:34.86] Seen anybody do it like I do it any better

[03:37.86] Been goin' over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors

[03:41.11] Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether

[03:44.36] You'd really like it in the limelight

[03:47.87] You'd sympathize with all the bad guys

[03:50.86] I'm still a victim in my own right

[03:54.11] But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah

[04:01.61] When I was older

[04:08.01] I was a sailor on an open sea
