是美国歌手和词曲作者Ben Platt演唱的一首歌曲,收录在其首张录音室专辑Sing to Me Instead中。
Ben Platt真是有谜之吸引力,才25岁就拿过托尼奖和格莱美,不仅会唱,嗓音真挚还极具感染力,轻而易举就能戳中你的心,这首单曲《Older》也同样值得反复品味:当你年轻时,你希望赶紧长大,但当你真的老了,却祈盼时光能倒流。那种真实却又残酷的感觉,都被他这样直截了当地唱出来了……
Older歌词:
I was walking down 57th street towards park
With the same old song in my same old heart
Making plans I'm gonna do when I get older
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head
Tried to lean into every word he said
Then he said
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older
When you get older
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime
Have I bit my tongue one too many times
Have I said it all the way I really meant to
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes
Is the waiting all I've ever done
And will I get to
Get to know myself in the place I am
Get to fall in love with another man and understand
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
Then when you're older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder turn into closure
When you get older
When you get older
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
When you are younger
When you are younger
You'll wish you're older
You'll wish you're older
When you get older
When you get older
You'll wish for time to turn around
Don't let your wonder
Don't let your wonder
Turn into closure turn into closure
When you get older
When you get older
When you get older
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
