When You're Older Lyrics - Singles - Kate Earl

Red eyes fly away from here every night 

My intentions aren't unfair or unkind 

How else could I purge my heart of this pillowed dream? 

Arctic wind will be washed from my hair 

Trading the forest for the city 

Things will be different for you 

Things will be different for you 

When you're older, you'll look back 

As you grow, you'll understand 

Why I left 

All I talk about is you since that day 

Remember when I'd cry into my soup 

And you would say that it's okay 

So many things used to break my heart 

I'd fall so easily 

But you're younger and smarter 

And harder than me 

Things will be different for you 

Things will be different for you 

When you're older, you'll look back 

As you grow, you'll understand 

Why I left 

I'm not comfortable in my own skin 

Haven't found my finest hour 

I can't dance, let alone sing before a crowd 

Or write effortlessly 

What I can't come out and say 

When I do, I'll be just like you 

Trading the forest for the city 

Finding my way down the mountain 

Finding my way to the sea 

[Incomprehensible] 

When you're older, you'll look back 

As you grow, you'll understand 

Why I left, you'll understand 

You'll understand
