When I Get Older
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-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, hope
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-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, hope
Oh, maybe there's still hope
Maybe there's still
Ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, hope
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 want to feel young
Somewhat mistreated, yes
Somewhat-what, somewhat misjudged
When I get older
I'm gonna be there to hold her
'Long as I sleep through the dark and make up my mind (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, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, hope
Oh, maybe there's still hope
Maybe there's still
Ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh-
If what I want is what you want
Wanna be like that, then be like that, ooh
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-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, hope
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-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, hope
Oh, maybe there's still hope
Maybe there's still
Ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, hope
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 want to feel young
Somewhat mistreated, yes
Somewhat-what, somewhat misjudged
When I get older
I'm gonna be there to hold her
'Long as I sleep through the dark and make up my mind (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, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, hope
Oh, maybe there's still hope
Maybe there's still
Ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh, ho-oh-oh-oh-
If what I want is what you want
Wanna be like that, then be like that, ooh
