Wish We Were 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.

Keep your body moving, girl

The beat is bumpin'

Go ahead and let them talk

Their words mean nothing

I know you're scared

But don't leave this place

Just turn around

And let me see your face

And now you're crying

And you hold me

And you whisper in my ear

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

Oh-we, oh-we, oh-oh

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

I wish we were older

Whoa-e, oh-we, oh-oh

Oh-we, oh-we, oh-oh

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

I wish we were older

I wish we were older

Tonight we'll touch

And they won't know

I know you're dying

To take off your clothes

Just trust in me

I'll never run away

You kiss my lips

And you taste like pain

And while I'm pushing it, I'm moving

Somehow you manage to say...

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

Oh-we, oh-we, oh-oh

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

I wish we were older

Whoa-e, oh-we, oh-oh

Oh-we, oh-we, oh-oh

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

I wish we were older

Just take my hand

I'll never let go

Just take my hand

I'll never let go

(I love you and I hate you)

Just take my hand

(Now I'm dying and I'm crying)

I'll never let go

(But I kiss you and I hold you)

Just take my hand

(And you hold me closer)

I'll never...

(You scream at me and say)

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

Oh-we, oh-we, oh-oh

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

I wish we were older

Whoa-e, oh-we, oh-oh

Oh-we, oh-we, oh-oh

Whoa-e, whoa-e, oh-oh

I wish we were older

And don't cry now

And don't cry now
