when i get older

The walls between You and I Always pushing us apart Nothing left but scars, fight after fight The space between Our calm and rage Started growing shorter Disappearing slowly, day after day I was sitting there waiting in my room for you You were waiting for me too And it makes me wonder The older I get Will I get over it? It's been way too long for the times we missed I didn't know then it would hurt like this But I think the older I get Maybe I'll get over it It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this The time between Those cutting words Built up our defenses Never made no sense, it just made me hurt Do you believe That time heals all wounds? It started getting better But it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you I was sitting there waiting in my room for you You were waiting for me too And it makes me wonder The older I get Will I get over it? It's been way too long for the times we missed I didn't know then it would hurt like this But I think the older I get Maybe I'll get over it It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this What was I waiting for? I should've taken less and given you more I should've weathered the storm Need to say so bad What were you waiting for? This could have been the best we've ever had The older I get Will I get over it? It's been way too long for the times we missed I didn't know then it would hurt like this But I think the older I get Maybe I'll get over it It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this Hurts like this I'm just getting older I'm not getting over you I'm trying to wish it didn't hurt like this It's been way too long for the times we missed I can't believe it still hurts like this

Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na-na-na Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older Payphone calls, cigarettes, injuries, shower sex I was holding on for dear life Complicated, understated, on the way to devastated We were young and out of our minds Right now, I'm sorry Burns through me, darling But I can't help think in 30 years it won't So, maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll run out of stories about you, yeah Maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll know what it's like not to love you anymore Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na-na-na Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older Playing house, immature, picking out furniture Praying that our hearts would play fair Emotional souvenirs, fleeting moments, golden years Close my eyes and I go back there Right now, I'm sorry Burns through me, darling But I can't help think in 30 years it won't So, maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll run out of stories about you, yeah Maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll know what it's like not to love you anymore Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na-na-na Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na-na-na Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm six feet Underneath the concrete I'll know what it's like not to want you, yeah Maybe when I'm older Maybe when I'm older I'll know what it's like not to love you

This will all make sense when I am older Someday I will see that this makes sense One day when I am old and wise I'll think back and realize That these were all completely normal events, ah I'll just dream about a time When I'm in my age of prime 'Cause when you're older Absolutely everything makes sense

The older I get The more I think You only get a minute, better live while you're in it 'Cause it's gone in a blink And the older I get The truer it is It's the people you love, not the money and stuff That makes you rich And if they found a fountain of youth I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet The older I get The fewer friends I have But you don't need a lot when the ones that you got Have always got your back And the older I get The better I am At knowing when to give And when to just not give a damn And if they found a fountain of youth I wouldn't drink a drop and that's the truth Funny how it feels I'm just getting to my best years yet The older I get And I don't mind all the lines From all the times I've laughed and cried Souvenirs and little signs of the life I've lived The older I get The longer I pray I don't know why, I guess that I Got more to say And the older I get The more thankful I feel For the life I've had, and all the life I'm living still
