Call me up again, this time I didn't answer That night, it was a threat I wish I didn't remember Play it back to when I was just getting by Picturing a friend that I don't even like You just scratch the surface Shut out all that's worth it You just scratch the surface Should we figure out What's really taking place? Or maybe you could talk me down Before I lose all faith No, I don't wanna reach behind, been forever Have a piece of mind, nothing's better You've been taking time, send a letter I know you remember, I know you remember You just scratch the surface Shut out all that's worth it You just scratch the surface You just scratch the surface I think you might deserve this Left alone, no purpose You just scratch the surface Shut out all that's worth it You just scratch the surface You just scratch the surface (don't wanna reach behind, been forever) I think you might deserve this (have a piece of mind, nothing's better) Left alone, no purpose (you've been taking time, send a letter) (I know you remember, I know you remember)

This is one for the future generation You can ignore this if you want Who am I to tell you what to do and not to do? But don't do what I did Do what I didn't do Make the choices I didn't make Support your community Start with your neighbour and walk outward Introduce yourself by name Why not go for that coffee You always end the conversation on? Spend time with your friends and family Call them, text them, write them a letter if you're feeling nostalgic It might be hard, but tell them you love them They won't be around forever Respect the ground you walk on Your kids are gonna walk on it someday, too And their kids after that And you don't want your grandchildren Only seeing elephants in picture books Get up everyday Make the bed all nice Fling open the curtains Feel the sun on your face Love your body Look in the mirror and think, wow, I'm amazing Don't dwell on Instagram There are far better things to do than that But if I have to tell you one thing to change Smile more, just smile more Put down your phone See the world through your own eyes Create memories Not in JPEGs Be creative Draw Learn a language Dance Even if it feels really awkward Why worry about something now That you won't worry about a year from now? Remember, no matter how difficult things get The sun will always rise again tomorrow Pay someone a compliment The checkout assistant, the postman You'll probably make their day I know it would make mine Challenge yourself Challenge others Ask more questions Bring something out in someone That even they didn't know was in there Look, no one knows where they're going You don't have to follow a path or You don't have to follow anything Just do what feels right But if I had to tell you just one thing to change Just smile more
