I was walking down 57th Street towards Park
With the same old song in my same old heart
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
I passed a gray-haired man, he found my eyes
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to

I felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
Tried to lean into every word he said
And then he said

When you are younger, you'll wish you're older
Then when you're older, you'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closurе
When you get older, whеn you get older

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime?
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Have I said it all the way I really meant to?
If I wait till my tomorrow comes
Is the waiting all I've ever done?
And will I get to

Will I ride the flood, open up the dam
Will I be the man I really am
And understand

That when you're younger, you'll wish you're older
Then when you're older, you'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older, when you get older

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

When you are younger, you'll wish you're older
When you get older, you'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older, when you get older

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
