when you're older Songtext
von Jake Cornell

Remember
16 back when learning to drive
Felt like the meaning of life to me
I miss how
Back then breaking up with a girl
Felt like the end of the world but we

Heard it gets better
So why′d it get worse?
Practiced forever but need time to rehearse
Feels like i never
Like i never learned
How to live


I used to run my mouth
Dad said you don't know what you′re talking 'bout
I didn't get it then i still don′t now
Guess they were lying when they told us
You′ll understand when you get out the house
Takes a little time to figure out yourself
Try to believe it but i have my doubts
Guess they were lying when they told us
You'll understand when you′re older

I used to
Care more about the clothes that I wore
Then who I was supposed to be
Now a couple years later all the neighbors think I'm crazy
′Cause I'm screaming off the balcony

I heard it gets better
So why′d it get worse?
Practiced forever but need time to rehearse
Feels like i never
Like i never learned
How to live


I used to run my mouth
Dad said you don't know what you're talking ′bout
I didn′t get it then i still don't now
Guess they were lying when they told us
You′ll understand when you get out the house
Takes a little time to figure out yourself
Try to believe it but i have my doubts
Guess they were lying when they told us
You'll understand when you′re older
