Older Lyrics by Whitney Bjerken

2023

(Happy birthday Dear Whitney
Happy Birthday to you)

[Verse 1]
I had my 16th birthday and I was amazed
Cause 16 years felt a whole lot like 16 days
365 sunsets just fly away
When I was younger I dreamt of who I'd be
She'd probably be a little disappointed in me
But, I wish that she could see

[Chorus]
That years fly by in the blink of an eye
But even the richest days run dry
Cause minutes and seconds aren't something that you can buy
Looking back at myself over my shoulder
I wish that someone would've told her
Life is a roller coaster
And it drops you ovеr and over
Getting up is part of getting oldеr

[Verse 2]
Tiny girl in the pictures on the wall
Who would've known that I'd grow to be so tall
I wish I remembered the day that I learned to crawl
When the hill up ahead gets a little harder to run
And it seems like the top of that hill is up past the sun
I just look back and see how far I've come

[Chorus]
Cause years fly by in the blink of an eye
But even the richest days run dry
Cause minutes and seconds aren't something that you can buy
Looking back at myself over my shoulder
I wish that someone would've told her
Life is a roller coaster
And it drops you over and over
Getting up is part of getting older

Oh
Oh
Oh
Older oh
Oh
Oh

[Verse 3]
At the end of the day our time's getting shorter
We never stop spinning on this green and blue boulder
So don't waste your time with each other
And learn to love one another
Learn to smile while your getting older
(Can we start the movie again?)
