Dear Me

(album: Easy Street - 2016)

Dear me, you'll be older one day
I'm writing from the future and you're doing ok
I said now, dear me, hold on to what you've got
Things are gonna change, but change is better than you thought

Dear me, I know you're scared as hell of everything right now
But don't get lost in where you're going
Dear me, you're gonna fall in love with the girl that you live next door to
And you have no real way of knowing

Don't know who you are, don't know who you are
Don't know who you are, but I know you're trying
Don't know who you are, don't know who you are
Don't know who you are, but you're multiplying

Dear me, you'll be older one day
I'm writing from the future and you're doing ok
I said now, dear me hold on to what you've got
Things are gonna change, but change is better than you thought
(Said you're gonna get yourself get yourself get yourself together
you're gonna get yourself get yourself get yourself together)

Dear me, don't keep people in your life that treat you like crap
And don't lose sleep over em either
Dear me, never give up on the good that rests inside of you
And don't believe the non believers
You're gonna make mistakes, gonna make mistakes
Gonna make mistakes let em fall behind you
You're gonna make mistakes, gonna make mistakes
Gonna make mistakes, but they won't define you

Dear me, you'll be older one day
I'm writing from the future and you're doing ok
I said now, dear me hold on to what you've got
Things are gonna change, but change is better than you thought
(Said you're gonna get yourself get yourself get yourself together
you're gonna get yourself get yourself get yourself together)

Take care of family and the ones you love
Put all your energy into human touch
Staying young is hard to do
So when life's getting serious, just don't take it so serious

I said now, dear me hold on to what you've got
Things are gonna change, but change is better than you thought
(Said you're gonna get yourself get yourself get yourself together
you're gonna get yourself get yourself get yourself together)

Keep growing up, but don't get old
Take care of what you can control
Respect the hearts that you will break
Forgive mistakes that you will make
If I were you I would not care
When some old man says to beware
So you probably won't listen to a word I say
probably won't listen to a word I say
probably won't listen to a word I say
But we're doing ok
Dear me
