when you're older

Remember, sixteen, back when learnin' to drive

Felt like the meaning of life to me

I miss how back then breaking up with a girl

Felt like the end of the world, but we

We heard it gets better

So, why'd it get worse?

I practiced forever but need time to rehearse

Feels like I never, like I never learned

How to live

I used to run my mouth

Dad said you don't know what you're talking 'bout

I didn't get it then, I still don't now

Guess they were lying when they told us

You'll understand when you get out the house

Takes a little time to figure out yourself

Try to believe it, but I have my doubts

Guess they were lying when they told us

You'll understand when you're older

I used to care more about the clothes that I wore

Then who I was supposed to be

Now a couple years later all the neighbors think I'm crazy

'Cause I'm screaming off the balcony

I heard it gets better

So, why'd it get worse?

I practiced forever but need time to rehearse

Feels like I never, like I never learned

How to live

I used to run my mouth

Dad said you don't know what you're talking 'bout

I didn't get it then, I still don't now

Guess they were lying when they told us

You'll understand when you get out the house

Takes a little time to figure out yourself

Try to believe it, but I have my doubts

Guess they were lying when they told us

You'll understand when you're older
