Dear young me, I did it
It ain't a dream no more, it's a business
Fresh wax, '94 in the engine
But fast cars only get you fast women
Funny what you find yourself missing
Pretty much everything that you didn't
Sitting with pops, sipping hops in ma's kitchen
These days you miss those days, so don't miss it

I know you feel misunderstood
But don't forget you got it good
Be everything that you want to
But don't outgrow your roots
You can cry and still be strong
Heartbreak's always worth the fall
It's alright to get it wrong
I don't know it all
So I'd forget the things I thought I knew
If I was you

Dear young me, you're living
Them stars lined up with the vision
You ain't thought of that girl in a minute
I guess you gotta lose a lot to keep winning
You'll learn a lot when you're fishing
Even more when grandpa come to visit
And that piano you hate's gonna pave the way
So just pay the man to come fix it

I know you feel misunderstood
But don't forget you got it good
Be everything that you want to
But don't outgrow your roots
You can cry and still be strong
Heartbreak's always worth the fall
It's alright to get it wrong
I don't know it all
So I'd forget the things I thought I knew
If I was you

If I was you
If I was you
If I was you

This morning I had a talk with the mirror
A conversation you know too well
Even after all these years
I still tell myself

I know you feel misunderstood
But don't forget you got it good
Be everything that you want to
But don't outgrow your roots
You can cry and still be strong
Heartbreak's always worth the fall
It's alright to get it wrong
I don't know it all
So I'd forget the things I thought I knew
If I was you

If I was you
If I was you
If I was you
