Dear Future Me

Dear future me, if I could tell you just one thing
I'd say, "settle down tonight when you can't fall asleep"
I would say when you turn off your light
You just start to hold on tight
Cause in the end, you're gonna be alright
Calm down, you're gonna be just fine

'Cause life won't just be daisies and roses
And you can't control this
The questions that you have won't go away
You just remember the future is brighter than you were
Future me, you go and chase your dreams
Future me, you live in make-believe

Dear future me, if I could tell you one more thing
I'd say, "settle down with someone you could never leave"
And when you settle, don't just settle for a momentary fling
Cause your heart is worth much more than girls and what they think
And one day, you'll find yourself a queen

And you'll buy her daisies and roses, and sail the ocean
You'll put all those old fairy tales to shame
And all of your pain and your every past heartache
Will pale in compare to what you found
Your queen is gonna turn your world around

Dear future me, if I could tell you one last thing
Take me with you, don't forget me in-between
I wanna see your next adventure, I wanna be your time machine
I'll take you back to times that weren't the best for you and me

And you will see that you're alright
Life's a thrill, put up your fight
And I'll bring you through when your wounds start to bleed

'Cause life won't just be daisies and roses
And you can't control this
The questions that you have won't go away
You just remember the future is brighter than you were
Future me, you go and chase your dreams
Future me, got some tricks still up your sleeve
Future me, you live in make-believe
