WHEN I WAS OLDER Lyrics

(Music Inspired by the Film “ROMA”)

[Billie Eilish]

When I was older

I was a sailor

On an open sea

But now I’m underwater

And my skin is paler

Than it should ever be

Mhm

[Billie Eilish]

I’m on my back again

Dreaming of a time and place

Where you and I remain the best of friends

Even after all this ends

Can we pretend?

I’m on my-

I’m on my back again

It seems more and more

Like all we ever do is see

How far it bends

Before it breaks in half and then

We bend it back again

[Billie Eilish]

Guess I got caught in the middle of it

Yes I’ve been taught, got a little of it

In my blood, in my blood

Memories burn like a forest fire

Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud

In the flood

[Billie Eilish]

When I was older

I was a sailor

On an open sea

But now I’m underwater

And my skin is paler

Than it should ever be

[Billie Eilish]

I’m watching movies back to back

In black and white, I never

Seen anybody do it like I do it any better

Then going over you, I’m overdue for no endeavors

Nobody lonely like I’m lonely and I don’t know whether

You’d really like it in the limelight

You’d sympathize with all the bad guys

I’m still a victim on my own right

But I’m the villain in my own eyes

[Billie Eilish]

When I was older

I was a sailor

On an open sea
