"'Older Than You'" is a song by Australian rock band, Eskimo Joe, released in October 2004 as the third and final single from their second studio album 'A Song Is a City'. The song peaked at number 46 on the ARIA charts.
It was poled at #32 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.
Kav Temperley said "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. 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."
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2005, the song won the ARIA Award for Best Group, while being nominated for ARIA Award for Engineer of the Year and ARIA Award for Producer of the Year with Paul McKercher.
