Billie Eilish - When I Was Older Lyrics
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?
I'm on my, I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever do is see
How far it bends
We bend it back again
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
In the flood
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
I'm watching movies back to back
In black and white, I never
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
Been going over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea

My queen sings very beautiful, but it shows a bit of autotune
It's supposed to be like that
-Autotune?- *billietune*
This song is zo good
Jes or no???
Im here after The Rolling Stones video 😅
Who’s here after The Rolling Stones interview
Who is here after Rolling Stone interview?
For some reason this song hits soooo different idek why like I am not surprised of how great this song is because it is billie
Who's here from the Rolling Stone interview? Can't believe Billie and Finneas hate this song lol
ME and I 100% agree I dunno how anyone could hate this song it's one of my favorites from her. I dunno that they hate the song though I thought they were just saying they wouldn't do it again or people gonna hate... which, BOO because I really fucking love this song.
Who is here after Rolling Stone's video?
so this is the auto tuned song she hates ??
Wait, is it auto tune or vocoder?
Still in love with this 😍🎶
Dude for this song i can see this colours:
-grey
- grey-blue colour ( like light )
- green ( but like neon, really strong )
- beige
-gold
-purple
I love you my an possible because you change my life 💚🖤💚🖤🤟
BILLIE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL 💙
I HATED this song, but one day I was super bored and I looked up this song. I actually listened to it, and I really liked when it started getting intense. It is not in my top favs of Billies songs, but it’s pretty awesome.
When aguas soldier
When aguas soldier
When aguas soldier
this song made me remember the password to my old phone
December 13th
Every thing she sings is gold..total control..love it💕
This is too good
didnt mean to make you cry, maybe wont you taje your back
This song feels really personal for me and I do not know why
So underrated.
🚶🏾♂️😢
Just like icarly I just love icarly and sam and dean
2 days 9 days
Tbh I don’t think my family ever wanted me
It’s funny I felt older when I was younger since it was so stressful
And I feel younger while I’m older since I’ve learned to say fuck the world
My spirit is wild displaced
Comments
45% talking about autotune
45% arguing that its actually vocoder
9% talking about how good the song is
1% mine that people dont give a f*ck
whaaaat¡? did billie make a son for ROMA?i can´t believe it¡
I just love every single of her songs..... She sings perfectly!!
Billie Eilish 💗
Everyone talking about the vocoder or whatever and then there’s me just enjoying the fucking song😳
And here is an example of an underrated song by her
Gnt a Billie vai fazer um filme ta , chamado k-13
Aqui el comentario en español que buscabas :v :D
Viva México! 🇲🇽
Chorus
When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever be
Verse 1
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this
Can we pretend?
I'm on my, I'm on my back again
It's seeming more and more
Like all we ever do is see how far it bends
Before it breaks in half and then
We bend it back
Bridge
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
Chours
In the When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler than it should ever
Verse 2
I'm watching movies back to back in black and white, I never
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
I'm goin' over you, I'm overdue for new endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah
Outro
When I was older
I was a sailor on an open sea
P.S. I know the lyrics might me wrong, and this comment is SO unoriginal
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love 💜🖤🧡
This sounds amazing with headphones
I love this song so much 🎶🎤🎵
Billie I love you
She's Beauty she's Grace she is Miss United States I really think you should be the president
bien vrgs escuchando a Billie en la colonia xd
Wow! Never heard this song before. Definitely underrated.
nobody:
obviously nobody:
me: i thought i heard in the butt, not a in the blood
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
This killing me. Past life.
Strong Fable vibes at the beginning
I found out what GLaDOS is doing after Portal 2...producing music
Я знаю ты ищешь русский комент вот он !!!
some one said that oh i dont think billie dose not like her fame like she dose she loves it.
this song calms me down so much like when i have a bad day i listen to this song like omg.
Algún mexicano?
Aquí estoy disfrutando de esta Rololona de Billie y Finneas.✨👌 Que hermoso tributo a una fenomenal película!
@Chely Melo de verdad a mi también me gusta escuchar música de Billie
Smash that like button my friends 😘
¥
Finneas is a musical genius
Is that a wii sports sample
No. The samples are the actual sounds you hear in the movie ROMA. If you've seen it, you'll be able to hear the sounds of; a dog, water, fire, karate students yells & a street organ player's music throughout the entire song. Masterpiece of a song to match a Masterpiece of an Academy Award winning movie! ✨🎥
Why are you scared of me?👀🙋
this song is just another world❤ perfection ❤
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler

Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?
I'm on my, I'm on my back again
It seems more and more
Like all we ever do is see
How far it bends
Before it breaks in half and then

Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
In the flood
When I was older

Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim in my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
'You'd sympathize with all the bad guys'
❤️❤️❤️❤️
GUYYYSSSS THE AUTOTUNE IS BECAUSE SHE IS "UNDERWATER"
SHE DONT NEED AUTOTUNE

roma is a shit.

Yo hablo espa~nol me fasina Billie Eillish es super talentosa y su hermano me encanta. 😘
THE BIT WHERE THE BEAT DROPS!!! I had it in my head for 4 hours and I KNEW it was a Billie song I just couldn't remember which one. So glad I just started binging Billie stuff 😂😂😊
Me: "When I was older"
English teachers: **Cries loudly**
My Asian parents: When you are older you will be a doctor
😂😂
Ufff this is art 💙💙💙
This song doesn’t get enough credit
GRANDIOSO TEMA, QUE TRANSPORTA TUS SENTIDOS, SENSIBILIZANDO TU AGUDEZA MUSICAL CON MELODÍAS VERDADERAMENTE HERMOSAS Y ADICTIVAS!...👍🎶💖🎵
🌛🖤🌜🧟♀️
This is one of my favorite songs by Billie and I feel like it doesn’t get the attention it deserves
I didn't even know this song existed until it popped up on my recommended, but I have to say that this is literally her most underrated song by Billie except for Six Feet Under...
