I can keep canaries and   cook on a camper stove   eat baked beans with a spoon   and smell of ginger beer       I can potter into town   and pick up your prescriptions   and if you're ever sad I'll pull   potatoes from your ears   potatoes from your ears       Someday when I'm older I will   Rock upon a porch with you   Rock upon a porch with you   Remembering the stupid things   we did when we were young   A hard boiled egg and soldiers in a   cafe with an ocean view   sitting silently across from you   sipping strawberry daiquiris and   twiddling our thumbs   till we grow old       I just want to quietly   collect up my cavalry   Curl up into a little ball   and plot my revenge       and it might sound stupid but   the saddest thing about growing up   is that I will never think   I'm spiderman again   I'm spiderman again       Someday when I'm older I will   Rock upon a porch with you   Rock upon a porch with you   Remembering when I was young   and I still had my own teeth   and it's sad to think that   there might still be   dreams of ours that won't come true   they probably never will come true   and we'll regret the things we didn't do   and suck on travel sweets till we grow old       Someday when I'm older I will   Rock upon a porch with you   Rock upon a porch with you   Remembering the price of Polos   and the books we used to read   'cause somehow after everything and   everyone that we've been through   I'm kind of looking forward to   rocking back and forth with you   on the front steps of our sweet retirement home
