when i'm older

when i'm older

maybe then i'll take it a little slower

when summer starts to turn into october

i'll take the time to look over my shoulder

when i'm older

right now

it's straight ahead

gonna do all the things i haven't done yet

no apologies

no regrets

gonna make the kind of memories we'll never forget

i wanna make a lot of big mistakes

live and love and learn the hard way

'cause these are gonna be the good old days

someday

when i'm older

when i'm older

and i've lived a real good life that's almost over

and the end of this road is getting closer

i might turn the music down a little lower

when i'm older

right now

i'm gonna turn it up

sing every song at the top of my lungs

dance every dance just for fun

do it all while i'm still young

i wanna make a lot of big mistakes

live and love and learn the hard way

'cause these are gonna be the good old days

someday

when i'm older

when i'm older

when i'm older

i might take the time to look over my shoulder

but not just yet 'cause

right now

it's straight ahead

gonna do all the things i haven't done yet

no apologies

no regrets

gonna make the kind of memories we'll never forget

i wanna make a lot of big mistakes

live and love and learn the hard way

'cause these are gonna be the good old days someday

'cause these are gonna be the good old days someday

when i'm older

when i'm older

yeah

oh ooh

oh ooh yeah

when i'm older
