When I Am Older Lyrics

What was that? Samantha?

This will all make sense when I am older
Someday I will see that this makes sense
One day, when I'm old and wise
I'll think back and realize
That these were all completely normal events

I'll have all the answers when I'm older
Like why we're in this dark enchanted wood
I know in a couple years
These will seem like childish fears
So I know this isn't bad, it's good

Excuse me

Growing up means adapting
Puzzling at your world and your place
When I'm more mature
I'll feel totally secure
Being watched by something with a creepy, creepy face

See, that will all make sense when I am older
So there's no need to be terrified or tense
I'll just dream about a time
When I'm in my aged prime
'Cause when you're older
Absolutely everything makes sense

This is fine

What is the Meaning of When I Am Older?

Ah, the sweet naivety of youth, thinking adulthood has all the answers! Gad's tune is a whimsical journey into a child's perspective on growing up. The song cleverly encapsulates that universal childhood belief that once you're older, everything will make sense - from scary situations to life's biggest mysteries. But here's the kicker: we adults are still trying to figure it out too! So, while it might be a comforting lullaby for kids, for those of us who've been around the block, it’s a cheeky reminder that age doesn’t always bring wisdom or clarity. In fact, sometimes it just brings more questions. So keep dreaming kiddos and remember: this is fine. #ChildhoodNaivety #GrowingPains #RealityCheck #ThisIsFine
