Older

Lyrics

I was walking down 57th street towards Park
 With the same old song in my same old heart
 Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
 Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
 It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
 Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to
 Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
 Tried to lean into every word he said
 Then he said
 When you are younger
 You'll wish you're older
 Then when you're older
 You'll wish for time to turn around
 Don't let your wonder turn into closure
 When you get older
 When you get older
 ♪
 Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
 Have I bit my tongue one too many times?
 Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
 If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
 Is the waiting all I've ever done?
 And will I get to
 Get to know myself in the place I am
 Get to fall in love with another man and understand
 When you are younger
 You'll wish you're older
 Then when you're older
 You'll wish for time to turn around
 Don't let your wonder turn into closure
 When you get older
 When you get older
 ♪
 When you are younger
 You'll wish you're older
 When you get older
 You'll wish for time to turn around
 Don't let your wonder turn into closure
 When you get older
 When you get older
