Get Older
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who cares if they don't think your cool?
They make everything about rules
And your older than that now
Get older
The world will fall into its place
You may be sad
When you get older
You might be happy just to stay
Who cares if you don't know what you want
'Cause they don't know what they've got
And you cannot resist
Get older
Your memories won't slip away
And you'll be glad
When you get older
That you were happy for today
Who cares?
Get older
The world will fall into its place
You may be sad
When you get older
You might be happy just to stay
Resist
Get older
Your memories won't slip away
And you'll be glad
When you get older
That you were happy for today
Who cares?
If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want
If you don't know what you want
