Older Lyrics - Ben Platt

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 

Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes 

It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind 

Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to 

Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head 

Tried to lean into every word he said 

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 

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 

Get to know myself in the place I am 

Get to fall in love with another man and understand

When you are younger

You'll wish for time to turn around 

Don't let your wonder turn into closure
