Lyrics

Get Older

Who cares if they don't think you're cool?

They make everything about rules

And you're older than that now

Get older

The world will fall into its place

You may be sad

When you get older

You might be happy just to stay

Who cares if you don't know what you want

'Cause they don't know what they've got

And you cannot resist

Get older

Your memories won't slip away

And you'll be glad

When you get older

That you were happy for today

Who cares?

Get older

The world will fall into its place

You may be sad

When you get older

You might be happy just to stay

Resist

Get older

Your memories won't slip away

And you'll be glad

When you get older

That you were happy for today

Who cares?

If you don't know what you want

If you don't know what you want

If you don't know what you want

If you don't know what you want
