Lyrics:
I remembered you older and taller
But you’re younger and smaller
So who’s gonna call her and say
That you’re back again
And all the lies, they were wiser
And the wise were the liars
And the liars were on fire
And the fires were put out
Just to be lit again
You’re alone ’til you’re not alone
And that’s all you need to know
Every time you decide to stay
Then the world will make you go
And that’s all you need to know
All the debts they got settled
And the settlers got cattle
But the cattle was rattled
By the snakes that were guarding
The garden gates
And you retired just in time
You were about to be fired
For being so tired
From hiring the ones who will take your place
All the lies on your resume
Have become the truth by now
And the things that you never did
Have become your youth somehow
You know everything by now
Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a threat
Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a threat
But I will anyway
I remembered you older and taller
But you’re younger and smaller
So who’s gonna call her and say
That you’re here at last
And all the days they were longer
And the drinks they were stronger
The words we sang wrong
But the songs were remembered
And time just passed
You’re around ’til you’re not around
And that’s all you need to know
Every time you decide to stay
Then the world will make you go
And that’s all you need to know
Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a threat
Enjoy your youth
Sounds like a threat
But I will anyway…

What a perfect song. The lyrics and meaning remind me a bit of “On the Radio”: “This is how it works: you’re young until you’re not. You love until you don’t. You try until you can’t. You laugh until you cry. You cry until you laugh. And everyone must breathe until their dying breath,” is a very similar sentiment to, “You’re around ‘til you’re not around, and that’s all you need to know.” Girl tells it like it is with such poignancy. I absolutely love her music

"All the lies on your resume Have become the truth by now And the things that you never did Have become your youth, somehow You know everything by now" This is so beautifully put and true... You're probably the most underrated lyricist of you day Regina. I've loved every song on this new album so far.

As so few do fully enjoy their youth, the phrase is a threat. Sooner than later, many will look back wondering where all that time went and why it was so misspent. So, I say with a sardonic smile, "Enjoy your youth."

I'm just here bawling on a Friday morning. Living under corrupt governments and businesses, surrounded by so many dire problems and tragedies that people in power are actively avoiding addressing, seeing people fighting for change against such adversity and hatred... It's really hard to enjoy youth in this world, and has been as long as I've been conscious of the world beyond me. But every day I am thankful for all of the beautiful music I am blessed to experience, and for all of the beautiful people I've met.

I absolutely love this song. I think that the melody gives an impression of sincere nostalgia or of memories deeply felt and this mood that she conjures up is perfect for the words. I think that the lyrics are about the wisdom that comes with age. Regina is contrasting foolish youth with the wisdom of older people. I remembered you older and taller but you're younger and smaller so who's gonna call her and say that you're back again? - In this stanza, the narrator is describing a person (I’ll assume he is a man) who was giant in the narrator’s memory, However now that the narrator sees him again, the narrator has grown enough to see that this man is more human than the narrator remembers. I suspect that this man was a “bad boy” and the woman who loved him still loves him and still feels the pain that he caused.I absolutely love this song. I think that the melody gives an impression of sincere nostalgia or of memories deeply felt and this mood that she conjures up are perfect for the words. And all the lies, they were wiser And wise were the lies And the lies were on fire And the fires were put out just to be lit again - When the man was young, he told lots of lies, but the lies actually turned out to be good in the end. You're alone 'til you're not alone And that's all you need to know Every time you decide to stay Then the world will make you go And that's all you need to know - I think that this stanza describes how the man was lonely because he needed to move frequently. This may have been is job or it may have been that he had a restless personality. In either case, he chose to leave and this hurt the woman who loved him. All the debts, they got settled And the settlers got cattle But the cattle was rattled by the snakes That were guarding the garden gates - I had said before that this may be nonsense, but now I am changing my mind. I think that this is about all of the debts being fixed. The man created debts (sins) and now he has paid them back. And you retired just in time You were about to be fired For being so tired from hiring the ones Who will take your place - Here we see that the man has aged. He is no longer the young and brash bad boy. He is now the wise old man that the young people think of as old fashioned. All the lies on your resume Have become the truth by now And the things that you never did Have become your youth, somehow You know everything by now - This is the most important stanza. When the man was young, he lied and pretended to be things he wasn’t; he was young and foolish. However, he faked it till he made it. As he grew wiser, he grew large enough to actually be able to at last do the things that had been lies. Enjoy your youth, Sounds like a threat - This is the line about old people looking at young people and calling them foolish. I’ll bet that Regina hears all the time from people, “enjoy your youth”. The music industry is for young and beautiful people. Singers, and especially women, are at their height in their twenties. After thirty, singers, and especially women find that their fans start to disappear and their records no longer sell as well. I am sure that Regina values the wisdom of age, but she also gets angry at the old and bitter people who are jealous of her. A few singers has the talent to remain stars into their old age and perhaps Regina will be one of those. I remembered you older and taller But you're younger and smaller So who's gonna call her and say That you're here at last? - The narrator see the man as smaller than the narrator remembered. In one way this makes sense since the man is no longer a bad boy; he no longer is puffed up with lies and bragging. However, this is ironic because he has grown in wisdom and is in reality much more effective as a person. His resume is no longer filled with lies, but truth. However, the narrator is also old and wiser and the narrator now sees the fabulous bad boy as human. The line, “whose gonna call her and say that you’re here at last” is just beautiful. The man is now wise enough to truly love the woman that he hurt all of those years ago.
