Now That I’m Older Lyrics

It's different now I think
I wasn't older yet
I wasn't wise, I guess


Somewhere I lost whatever else I had
I wasn't over you
I see it run inside itself

And then I called you out
I'm not such older than I was
I'm feeling it's so much right and wrong

And then I woke myself, confused
Your dress comes down to you
Don't get it wrong, don't get excited


I wanted so much to be at rest
Now that I'm older
So be it so of love

The silent man comes down
All dressed in radiant colors
You see it for yourself


To demonstrate my love for you
I thought I was so in love
Some say it wasn't true
Now that I'm older
Now that I'm older
Now that I'm older
Now that I'm older

There's so much travel yet
And now that I'm older
Someone else can see it for myself

There's so much travel yet
Now that I'm older

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The fifth track on Sufjan Stevens’s ‘Age of Adz’ album is a slower, more reflective song situated between the brokenhearted-but-driven ‘I Walked’ (track four) and the apocalyptic ‘Get Real, Get Right’ (track six). ‘Now That I’m Older’ is an achingly melancholic lament for the hard-fought knowledge and wisdom that comes with age.
