When I Get Older

Flashes of colors spill on the pavement Looking at all of the thoughts in my head Wish I could draw it the way that I sing Something about when the paint meets the page Humming the melodies of the ocean Mimic the pattern of the guitar pick Searching up pictures of Saturn Mars and Jupiter wishing that I could find them I just don't think that I quite get it yet Will I ever then? Running out of time to spend I just don't think that I quite get it yet Will I ever then? When I get older Pray that I, pray that I, pray that I get older Who am I? Hope that I find that out When I get older Pray that I, pray that I, pray that I get older Who am I? Hope that I find that out When I get Handful of crystals mouth full of whispers Standing up on my head for distance Hope when I come back down I'm balanced Just to go on with my day like it's finished Look out the window wishing the scene was different Guarantee when I leave that I will miss it What's not in my head somehow looks better than Anything that's ever been I just don't think that I quite get it yet Will I ever then? Running out of time to spend I just don't think that I quite get it yet Will I ever then? When I get older Pray that I, pray that I, pray that I get older Who am I? Hope that I find that out When I get older Pray that I, pray that I, pray that I get older Who am I? Hope that I find that out When I get Are we guilty? Are we freemen? Are we running into weekends? Are we chasing what we see fit? Is it ours if we can't keep it? Are we really meant to keep it? If you don't break it you repeat the cycle But you gotta see the cycle To know what is right from The habits learned from hurt They'll turn you spiteful Take it as some lessons learned Then flip the vinyl So you see the other side of the story Life is like a spiral and we'll keep Coming back to things like Wasn't this final? Just to find out we on trial So it's better not to fight for All your old ways If we think we're worms We'll think in dirty ways Get your mental straight Self evaluate Though it can't erase the problems Only make them raise up to your surface But you'll find out that it's worth it when When I get older When I get older
