When You're Older - Restorations

This guy pushes right past me

Dragging his kid arms-length behind

Repeating «Listen to me son — we’re gonna be just fine»

They said I’d know when I was older

They said it would be abundantly clear

And if this is the secret

You can keep it

I keep hearing «we»

But they never asked me

Maybe its desire for displacement I’ve known

Or the storied promise that keeps me coming home

I’ll keep circling with sinners to forget about the winners

They say you’ll know it when you see it
