[Verse 1]
Looking for something I've never seen
Alone and I'm in between
The place that I'm from and the place that I'm in
A city I've never been
But I found a friend, or should I say foe?
Said there's a few things you should know
We don't want you to see, we come and we go
Here today, gone tomorrow

[Chorus]
We're only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older, you will understand

[Verse 2]
If I say who I know, it just goes to show
You need me less than I need you
But take it from me, we don't give sympathy
You can trust me, trust nobody
But I said you and me, we don't have honesty
The things we don't wanna speak
And I'll try to get out, but I never will
This traffic is perfectly still
[Chorus]
We're only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older, you will understand

[Bridge]
And then again, maybe you don't
And then again, maybe you won't

[Chorus]
We're only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older, you will understand

[Outro]
When you're older, you might understand
When you're older, you might understand
