Older

Wish I could go back to when I was six
Cause I'm already forgetting what it's like to be a kid
And I lie when I say I know what to be when I grow up

Do you remember how we thought school was fun?
We'd climb on the playground, we'd yell and we'd run
Back when popsicle sticks with your name decided your fate

But I can't go back to those days

I'm older and I'm out on my own
And it's colder in this house all alone
I'm helpless and jaded, and if I was graded
I think I'd fail

There are too many things I want to do with my life
Like touring the world or be a mother and wife
Want to start a small business and sell things I make out of yarn

Want to move to Paris and never look back
But when you're needed in Nashville can't really do that
I don't know where my life will go, know anything at all
No idea how I'll survive

Cause I'm older and I'm out on my own
And it's colder in this house all alone
I'm helpless and jaded, and if I was graded
I think I'd fail
I realize that it's time to grow up
But it's high time that I felt like enough
Cause I'm young and I'm broken, exhausted emotions
At seventeen

Someday I'm gonna look back
And realize how much time I had
Someday I'll wake up and see
But right now it feels like I'm drowning at sea

Cause I'm older and I'm out on my own
And it's colder in this house all alone
I'm helpless and jaded, and if I was graded
I think I'd fail
I realize that it's time to grow up
But it's high time that I felt like enough
I'm young and I'm broken, exhausted emotions
At seventeen

Getting older and maybe that means
I'll be bolder by the time I'm eighteen
But for now I'm still clueless, maybe I can do this
I guess we'll see
