"When I Am Older" lyrics

"When I Am Older"
(from "Frozen II" soundtrack)

What was that? Samantha?

This will all make sense when I am older
Someday I will see that this makes sense
One day when I'm old and wise
I'll think back and realize
That these were all completely normal events
Ah!

I'll have all the answers when I'm older
Like why we're in this dark, enchanted wood
I know in a couple years
These will seem like childish fears
And so I know this isn't bad, it's good

Excuse me

Growing up means adapting
Puzzling at your world and your place
When I'm more mature
I'll feel totally secure
Being watched by something
With a creepy, creepy face

Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

See, that will all make sense when I am older
So there's no need to be terrified or tense
I'll just dream about a time
When I'm in my aged prime
'Cause when you're older
Absolutely everything makes sense

This is fine

Comparing his work in "Frozen", Josh Gad said to The Hollywood Reporter, "'In Summer' was a celebration of naivete, and the audience was in on the joke that this is a character who doesn't realize that what he wants right now would lead to his ultimate destruction. In 'Frozen 2', it was a case of how do we send up the fact that Olaf is obviously having growing pains and having an existential crisis, but is still the same innocent character we love." He also added about the character of Olaf, "...we thought it would be really interesting to take him from a toddler to more of a fully-grown child. So, that was the initial conversation, and off of that, we played around with the levels of how much maturity should there be and found that balance along the way."
