Older Than You

About Older Than You

"Older Than You" is the third single by Eskimo Joe, taken from their second studio album A Song Is a City. It reached #32 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004. "This song was written in autumn last year when I'd just split up with my girlfriend of four years and had gone over to Melbourne to meet up with a girl who I guess was one of the catalysts for the break up." explains vocalist Kav Temperley. "Nothing had happened, but that window was there. We met up and the thing that I really appreciated about her is that she was a couple of years younger than me but her eyes were like the eyes of an old soul. So it's the story of us meeting up over there, but I held back `cause it didn't seem right to simply jump from one relationship to the next. I have to trust in existence. It's a continuing story." The film clip for "Older Than You" was shot over 14 hours at Sydney's Hyde Park in 2004 by the critically acclaimed director, Nash Edgerton, who had previously directed Eskimo Joe's "Liar" film clip. more »

Oh inner city streets 
Where i sleep 
I watched her take this romance 
Home to me 
Oh 

I believe in something more 
I watched her heart 
Through bathroom room doors 
It's true 
Eyes that are older than you 

Oh echoes in the heart 
When we meet 
I chose to take this moment 
To tell you I'm leaving 
Oh 

I believe in something more 
I watched her heart 
Through bathroom doors 
It's true 
Eyes that are older than you 

Watch her count it up on one hand 
Like lovers and ocean and land 
And it keeps on going 
Over and over and over again
