Older

I was walking down 57th Street towards Park With the same old song in my same old heart Making plans, I'm gonna do when I get older I passed a grey-haired man, he found my eyes It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind Saying, "Life is gonna find you when it's supposed to" I felt my feet stopped short and I turned my head Tried to lean into every word he said And then he said "When you are younger, you'll wish you're older Then when you're older, you'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older, when you get older" Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime? Have I bit my tongue one too many times? Have I said it all the way I really meant to? If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes Is the waiting all I've ever done? And will I get to? Will I ride the flood? Open up the dam Will I be the man I really am? And understand "That when you're younger, you'll wish you're older Then when you're older, you'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older, when you get older" Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh When you are younger, you'll wish you're older And when you're older, you'll wish for time to turn around Don't let your wonder turn into closure When you get older, when you get older Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
