When You`re Older Lyrics

When You`re Older lyrics

Red eyes fly away from here every night

My intentions aren't unfair or unkind

How else could I purge my heart of this pillowed dream?

Arctic wind will be washed from my hair

Trading the forest for the city



Things will be different for you

Things will be different for you



When you're older, you'll look back

As you grow, you'll understand

Why I left



All I talk about is you since that day

Remember when I'd cry into my soup

And you would say that it's okay



So many things used to break my heart

I'd fall so easily

But you're younger and smarter

And harder than me



Things will be different for you

Things will be different for you



When you're older, you'll look back

As you grow, you'll understand

Why I left



I'm not comfortable in my own skin

Haven't found my finest hour

I can't dance, let alone sing before a crowd



Or write effortlessly

What I can't come out and say

When I do, I'll be just like you



Trading the forest for the city

Finding my way down the mountain

Finding my way to the sea



[Incomprehensible]



When you're older, you'll look back

As you grow, you'll understand

Why I left, you'll understand

You'll understand
