"When I Get Older" lyrics

"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

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, 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 want to feel young
Somewhat mistreated, yeah
Yeah, 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, 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
