Now that you're older
   Taking the time to look
   Back over your shoulder
   On the days confusion took
  
   Now that you're wiser
   Surely you've learned 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
