You’ll Understand When You’re Older Lyrics by Lovejoy

Pebble Brain

2021

[Intro]
Woo!

[Verse 1]
Said I'd understand when I'm older
Said I'd understand the things they do
Falls asleep on his shoulder in the break room
She falls asleep on his shoulder in the break room
She said she'd been inside for too long
Well, no shit, could you tell us something new?
You can tell he's lying cause his lips move
You can tell he's lying cause his lips move
It must be nice to be the reason
His work, it ain't so bleak
That must be what motivates you
That must be what motivates you
All he needs is to see you smiling
And well, you light up his whole week
Imagine thе kind of things he'd do to you
If there wеren't so many cameras

[Chorus]
And you're keeping a dark secret
But you're talkin' in your sleep

[Verse 2]
Totally banned from the kitchen
Citing workplace health concerns
But they wouldn't tip you if it healed you
No, they wouldn't tip you if it healed you
She says the country's sweating out a fever
A fever born by what you do
And what kind of pressure do they put on you?
What kind of pressure do they put on you?
Well, at least she's waiting for you
Glass of wine after a long day
She'll dry your eyes on serviette tray
Dry your eyes on serviette tray
Fall asleep in her dad's Ford Mondeo
That you stole from him yesterday
You look so cute when you're so angry
If I'm going down, you're comin' with me

[Chorus]
And you think that it gets better
Just you wait until next week
You're keeping a dark secret
But you're talkin' in your sleep

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
(Fuck!)
