"Older Chests" 是 Damien Rice 在 "9" 專輯中的一首歌曲。以下是這首歌的歌詞:
Verse 1:
I remember when you were young
And your chest was all of one color
And you used to play with fire
And you used to play with your own reflection
Chorus:
Older chests, they're full of scars
And they're covered in memories
But I still love you like I always did
Because I remember what it was like
Verse 2:
And you were running and screaming
You were lost and you were free
You were living and learning
You were loving and you were grieving
Bridge:
But I remember when we used to play
And the colors that we dreamed in
Now I see your old age coming
And I feel my own reflection fading
Chorus:
Older chests, they're full of scars
And they're covered in memories
But I still love you like I always did
Because I remember what it was like
Outro:
Now your body is growing cold
But I remember what it was like
It's alright, it's alright with me now
Cause I remember what it was like.
