lyrics

Who I was three years ago
Would have a crush on me today
She'd take secret videos
From the back of the house
While I'm on stage ask
"Who did your tattoos?",
And if you're ever in the mood
I'd love to take you out
So I could learn a thing or two

Who I am today would think
That 21-year-old was sweet
I'd indulge her bright-eyed inquiries
And wouldn't tell her she's naïve
And though she'd think I had it all figured out
I'd let her know I'm full of headaches,
Fear, and doubt
But I'd say "Thank you for reminding me
What this whole thing's about, I guess
I've grown a lot and you showеd me how."

I get caught up in the forward crawl
I forgеt to see the beauty of it all
They say "Just be yourself!",
Well they forget that order's tall
I'm still tryna find it
But this slightly younger helps me recall

Well who I'll be three years from now
Will have some shit to say to me
Relax your furrowed brow,
There ain't no reason to worry
And if you feel like giving up
You gotta remember that you're tough
You'll find your power
In the tears that line your cheeks

Who I am today
Would ask that older person for some cheats
But I'd secretly hope they wouldn't give any to me
And in my fantasy they've got it figured out
And all their confidence
Outweighs their minor doubts
But I'm wise enough to know
That's not what this whole thing's about
I've got some growing left and you've shown me how

I get caught up in the forward crawl
I forget to see the beauty of it all
They say just be yourself
But they forget that order's tall
I may never find it

Don't really mind that
Cause this scrappy band
Of all the different versions of myself
They never fail
To catch me when I fall
