Older lyrics

I wish that I was older,

Old enough to be yours, mhmm

And I wish that I was wiser,

Wise enough to be strong-minded,

To keep up with the words you say

That make me feel so young

But I don’t know where this is going,

I’ve just been hoping

And I can see by your smile

That you’re glowing inside and out

Let’s not pretend like it’s not what it is,

When I’m just starting to realize

That I love you, ooh

And I wish that we were strangers,

Strange enough to go unnoticed from this crowd

And I wish that we were closer,

Close enough for me to hold you

When your lonely nights become too long to bear

But I don’t know where this is going,

I’ve just been hoping

And I can see by your smile

That you’re glowing inside and out

Let’s not pretend like it’s not what it is,

When I’m just starting to realize

That I love you, ooh

You hold your head up high,

Though it’s hard to, ooh

I can’t keep back,

I know I just want you, ooh

But I don’t know where this is going,

I’ve just been hoping

And I can see by your smile

That you’re glowing inside and out

Let’s not pretend like it’s not what it is,

When I’m just starting to realize

That I love you, ooh

I love you…
