A Song To My Future Self - mxnii.

Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere Voices echo in the gym Another girl's had her first kiss Please, don't think too much of it, darling I'm so sorry that they pick you last Try to say your foreign name and laugh I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare But, baby, know that You'll grow up And grow so tough and charm them Write your story, fall in love a little too The things you thought you'd never do I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze Myself at 13 And just let her know, know that she's beautiful Keep on going with your silly dream Life is prettier than it may seem One day, you'll be up on stage Little girls will scream your name The days of tears and failure fears And no one cares, will all make sense, 'cause You'll grow up And grow so confident, and Write your story, fall in love a little too The things you thought you'd never do I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze Myself at 13 And just let her know, know that she's beautiful Ooh-ooh

Open up the doors in the back of the church And they all rise, they all rise Take a couple steps of my breath in a dress That is all white, it's all white As your father lets you go He will whisper soft and slow Walk towards love, yeah Walk towards love, yeah Walk towards love This money's gonna come And this money's gonna go But that's alright, that's alright 'Cause everything could fall down Everything could go But it's all fine, it's all fine They say love's a winding road But it's simple if we both Walk towards love, yeah Walk towards love, yeah Walk towards love Even the philosophers know, it's a fact That we all die, we all die I know you're an angel So if they call you back in a short time A short time And you leave me in this life I will follow close behind Walk towards love, yeah Walk towards love, yeah Walk towards love, yeah Walk towards love, yeah Walk towards love Hmmmm

Are you happy? Did California give you everything that you ever dreamed? Are you lonely? Did you find a way to fit in all the little things that keep your heart beating? Should I be finding gold in the wreckage? I don't wanna miss it, no Wanna look back and know that I meant this Was it worth it after all? Oh-oh, If I could send a letter to my future self Would it even help? Oh-oh, if I heard all the secrets from my future self Would it even help? Oh-oh, If I could send a letter to my future self Would it even help? Oh-oh, if I heard all the secrets from my future self Would it even help? Have you seen the world? Did you travel all the places that I wanna be? Do you have a girl? Did she open up your heart? Yeah, was she the key? Should I be finding gold in the wreckage? I don't wanna miss it, no Wanna look back and know that I meant this Was it worth it after all? Oh-oh, If I could send a letter to my future self Would it even help? Oh-oh, if I heard all the secrets from my future self Would it even help? Oh-oh, If I could send a letter to my future self Would it even help? Oh-oh, if I heard all the secrets from my future self Would it even help?

And I waited by the water for the reeds to calm me down And you called me in the morning time When your hands were as cold as mine While we waited for the dust to come along You gave me an awkward smile instead Back I was dreaming of the weirdest things Let my brittle frame fall, let this brittle frame fall Let my brittle frame fall, let this brittle frame fall And then we drove by pebbles one by one In the hope to find a stepping stone Could have stayed another day or two And watched this brittle frame fall Watched this brittle frame fall And watched this brittle frame fall And I waited by the window but these streets wouldn't calm me down And you called me in the midst of it all and my brittle frame fall Let my brittle frame fall. -HT
