Older Lyrics - Fire Within - Birdy

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 realise 

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 you're lonely nights become too long to bare. 

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 realise 

That I love you. 

You hold your head up high, 

Though it's hard to 

I can't keep back I know, 

I just want you. 

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 realise 

That I love you. 

I love you.
