Lyrics
When I 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.
Down by the dock sits a man on a rock
With his hands in the air, hear him talk, hear him swearing
When I get older I'm gonna be there to hold her
Long as I sleep through the dark and make up my mind
Just know I regret the time I let you pass by
Oh, maybe there's still hope, maybe there's still ho oh oh
Out with my pals getting lost in the crowds
See the girl in her heels raise her glass to the ceiling
When I get older I'm gonna be there to hold her
Long as I sleep through the night and make up my mind
Just know I shook off the time I let you pass by
Oh, maybe there's still hope, maybe there's still ho oh oh
We wanna be like the celebrities that we see on tv with a nice set of keys
But what I want is what you want and we both want to feel young
Yet somewhat mistreated yeah somewhat misjudged
When I get older I'm gonna be there to hold her
When I get older I'm gonna be there to hold her
Yeah, what's with this whole parade of emotion
Oh, maybe there's still hope, maybe there's still ho oh oh
Oh, maybe there's still hope, maybe there's still ho oh oh
If what I want is what you want, wanna be like that then be like that
