“If Only I Was a Little Older” aches with raw regret, a confession of love lost through immaturity.
Every verse reveals the pain of selfish choices, contrasted with the wisdom that only comes too late.
The song paints the picture of youth wasted, where pride and foolishness cost the love of a lifetime.
Its soft piano lines and confessional vocals echo the heartbreak of realizing mistakes after she’s gone.
Each chorus swells with passion, as if pleading for a chance to rewrite the past and hold her close.
Strings and harmonies rise behind the baritone voice, giving weight to the sorrow and desperate hope.
It is a stripped-back ballad where every lyric feels like a diary entry, intimate and painfully honest.
The bridge softens into confession, almost spoken, before bursting into a final, soaring chorus.
Listeners are left with the haunting truth: time cannot be turned back, but love remains unforgettable.
“If Only I Was a Little Older” is a timeless Pop/Soul story of regret, longing, and lessons learned.

Lyrics
If Only I was a Little Older

I wish that us males grew up a little earlier
Then the most precious things we have, would not disappear
You and me, were friends from when we were young (yeah)
But you grew up and I went along my male selfish ways (yeah I did)

Now I lie in the bed you did with me, all alone
Still living in the same town and living different lifes
You’re with another fellow a few years older
I sit here wishing, I was older and wiser (yeah I do, I do)

Because if I was a little older, I would not of been such a fool
I would of not been so macho and such a tool (yeah I was)
I would of held you close and every time you would have come first
What you wanted, I would of given anything to keep you mine (yeah keep you mine)

No, I was young and stupid only thought of me
I did not realise until you were gone, what I did
It, become obvious when I was alone, why you had gone
Now, I realise, that I wish I was a few years older
If I were, I would still have you (ooooh ooooh)

Because if I was a little older, I would not of been such a fool
I would have, not been so macho and such a tool (yeah I was)
I would have, held you close and every time, you would have come first
What you wanted, I would have given anything, to keep you mine (yeah keep you mine)

If I ever hear that your on your own again (I’ll come running)
Tell you all the things I did wrong
Let you know I have grown,
I would let you know, exactly what you mean to me

Yeah, if only I was a little older (ooooh ooooh)
I would have, held you close and every time, you would have come first
What you wanted, I would have given anything, to keep you mine (yeah keep you mine)

Ooooh yeah, keep you mine ooooh
