Gabrielle Carels - When I Get Older Lyrics

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
