[Intro]
Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na, na-na
Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older
[Verse 1]
Payphone calls, cigarettes, injuries, shower sex
I was holding on for dear life
Complicated, understated, on the way to devastated
We were young and out of our minds
[Pre-Chorus]
Right now I'm sorry
Burns through me, darling
But I can't help think in 30 years it won't
[Chorus]
So, maybe when I'm older
Maybe when I'm older
I'll run out of stories about you, yeah
Maybe when I'm older
Maybе when I'm older
I'll know what it's like not to lovе you anymore
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na, na-na
Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older
[Verse 2]
Playin' house, immature, pickin' out furniture
Prayin' that our hearts would play fair
Emotional souvenirs, fleeting moments, golden years
Close my eyes and I go back there
[Pre-Chorus]
Right now I'm sorry
Burns through me, darling
But I can't help think in 30 years it won't
[Chorus]
So, maybe when I'm older
Maybe when I'm older
I'll run out of stories about you, yeah
Maybe when I'm older
Maybe when I'm older
I'll know what it's like not to love you anymore
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na, na-na
Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older
Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm na-na-na, na-na
Maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm, maybe when I'm older
[Outro]
Maybe when I'm six feet
Underneath the concrete
I'll know what it's like not to want you, yeah
Maybe when I'm older
Maybe when I'm older
I'll know what it's like not to love you
