When You're Older Lyrics

When you're older

This puzzle won't have pieces

When you're older

These words will ring true

When you're older

You'll know just what to do

Just like I told you

It all falls into place

And so will you

Don't worry about what to do

It'll come to you

Who says you won't

See the earth from space?

And when you do

Don't forget about us down here too

When you're older

You'll remember the words I said

When you're older

They'll make so much sense

When you're older

You'll take less offense

At your expense

It all falls into place

And so will you

Don't worry about what to do

It'll come to you

Who says you won't

See the earth from space?

And when you do

Don't forget about us down here

Whose scared?

Not me!

Said with such superiority

But it's not about

Sleeping in the dark

Even though

You'll come crying to me

Fear's in the heart of the beholder

You'll understand when you're older

It all falls into place

And so will you

Don't worry about what to do

It'll come to you

Who says you won't

See the earth from space?

And when you do

Don't forget about us down here too
