[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

[Verse 2]
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]
Were only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older, you will understand

[Verse 3]
If I say who I know it just goes to show
You need me less than I need you
Take it from me
We don't give sympathy
You can trust me trust nobody

[Verse 4]
But I said you and me
We don't have honesty
The things we don't want to speak
I'll try to get out but I never will
The traffic's perfectly still

[Chorus]
Were 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)
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
