Older - They Might Be Giants

Well I guess I'm at the end again Back to breaking down on benches Guess I've grown to feel nothing And it seems nothing hurts the broken Out of everyone, I seem to be the one with doubt Stopped waiting out for love, so shouldn't it be here by now? Maybe one day when I am older, I might understand why love Just doesn't happen to everyone who wants it I want to feel it, it Baby, I want to feel it, it I'll keep waiting for my lover, maybe when I am older And I keep losing everyone again Maybe 'cause I haven't found myself Feels like I'm looking for nothing And nothing hurts more than not knowing Out of everyone, I seem to be the one with doubt Stopped waiting out for love, so shouldn't it be here by now? Maybe one day when I am older, I might understand why love Just doesn't happen to everyone who wants it I want to feel it, it Baby, I want to feel it, it I'll keep waiting for my lover, maybe when I'm older Maybe one day when I am older I might understand why love just doesn't happen To everyone who wants it To everyone who wants it, one who wants it Everyone who wants it, everyone who wants it One day I might have it Around the corner I'll keep waiting for my lover Maybe when I'm older

I'm not prepared for the future So many things that I just don't know I cut my hair, bought a new shirt New pair of shoes, and it's time to go I finally found an apartment Signed a lease on a car this month I can't go back to the start now, time doesn't slow down I'm on my own Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down the posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Never thought I'd be 20 And 30 don't seem so far away I know I gotta make a little money, then maybe find somebody To call my own Mmm, I'm not ready, but I Can't go back in time I know it's all out of my control, now I know Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down my posters And I'm telling all my friends we'll get together next October That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over One day I'll be buying posters for my kids Just like my parents did for me, it's never over They'll grow up and soon enough They'll wish that time would just move slower I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older Guess my childhood is over Now I'm taking down the posters And I'm putting all my things inside a box next to a toaster That's my closest thing to closure I can't stop this roller coaster I'm not ready to get older, I'm not ready to get older I'm not prepared for the future So many things that I just don't know I cut my hair, bought a new shirt New pair of shoes, and it's time to go

It had been going so well And then I broke my eggshell And entered the world as a brontosaurus Brontosaurus, brontosaurus Here's my entire autobiography, I was Skinny at first, then I got thick, and then back to Being skinny again like a brontosaurus Like a brontosaurus Life was devoid of purpose And so I joined the circus Somehow, they found it easy to ignore us People found it easy to ignore this Brontosaurus, brontosaurus You want to leave an impression You want to express an emotion You crave some attention And for this transgression, you'll be repaid when You fall and you fail and sink into depression It was as dark as Get Out I went and stuck my neck out Wearing an expression of optimism Optimism and bad vision Do you think this tale has gone on for too long? Join the chorus, you can join the chorus Can't cut it as an artist Maybe I'm too sensitive Who would have believed skin could be so porous? Brontosaurus skin can be so porous Brontosaurus, brontosaurus
