  • 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
