[Verse 1]
Remember when you were younger?
You thought that you'd be an astronaut
You thought that you'd be the president
You thought you'd be a rock star
Remember when you were tender?
You thought that you'd be a scientist
You thought that you'd be a populist
You thought you'd be a teamster
[Chorus]
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
You wouldn't know, but it's better than that
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
[Verse 2]
Remember when it was winter?
You thought that your spring would be better
You thought that your spring would be heaven
You thought that your spring would be Paris
Remember when it was bitter?
You thought that your spring would be sweeter
You thought that your fall would be higher
You thought that your spring would be Easter
[Chorus]
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
You wouldn't know, but it's better than that
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
[Verse 3]
Remember when you were a virgin?
You thought that it would be fireworks
You thought that it would be genius
You thought you'd be a rockstar
Remember when you were thirty?
You thought that it would be airplanes
You thought that it would be spaceships
You thought it would be flying cars
[Chorus]
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
You wouldn't know, but it's better than that
Let me tell you, yeah it's better than that
