[00:03.30] "Letter to Me"
[00:18.18] If I could write
[00:19.51] A letter
[00:20.83] To me
[00:24.09] And send it back in time
[00:26.48] To myself..
[00:28.07] At 17
[00:29.72] First I'd prove it's me
[00:31.35] By saying
[00:33.25] "Look under your bed
[00:35.91] There's a Skoal can
[00:37.24] And a Playboy
[00:38.83] No one else
[00:39.90] Would know you hid"
[00:42.60] And then I'd say
[00:43.93] I know it's tough
[00:47.91] When you break up
[00:49.50] After seven months
[00:53.75] And, yeah, I know
[00:55.08] You really liked her
[00:57.21] And it just
[00:58.32] Don't seem fair
[01:00.23] But all I can say
[01:01.88] Is pain like that
[01:03.47] Is fast
[01:04.80] And it's rare
[01:06.71] And, oh, you got so much
[01:09.90] Going for you,
[01:11.23] Going right
[01:12.34] But I know..
[01:14.20] At 17 it's hard to see
[01:16.86] Past Friday night
[01:19.31] She wasn't right for you
[01:21.69] And still you feel
[01:23.02] Like there's a knife
[01:24.95] Sticking out of your back
[01:27.34] And you're wondering
[01:29.20] If you'll survive it
[01:31.36] You'll make it through this
[01:33.22] And you'll see
[01:35.70] You're still around
[01:37.56] To write this letter
[01:39.68] To me
[01:41.61] ..*..
[01:45.86] At the stop sign
[01:47.45] At Tomlinson and 8th
[01:51.74] I always stop completely
[01:54.97] Don't just tap your brakes
[01:57.63] And when you get a date
[01:59.48] With Bridget
[02:01.08] Make sure the tank is full
[02:04.00] On second thought,
[02:05.59] Forget it
[02:06.44] That one turns out
[02:08.05] Kinda cool 🤠
[02:10.49] Each and every time
[02:12.39] You have a fight
[02:15.85] Just assume you're wrong
[02:17.71] And dad is right
[02:21.69] And you should really thank
[02:23.55] Ms. Brinkman
[02:24.92] She spends so much extra time
[02:28.11] It's like she sees
[02:29.17] A diamond underneath
[02:31.30] And she's polishing you
[02:32.63] 'til you shine
[02:34.48] And oh, you got so much
[02:37.67] Going for ya,
[02:39.00] Going right
[02:40.33] But I know..
[02:41.92] At 17 it's hard to see
[02:44.58] Past Friday night
[02:47.02] Tonight's the bonfire rally
[02:49.98] But you're staying home instead
[02:52.37] Because if you fail algebra,
[02:55.82] Mom and dad'll kill you dead
[02:58.75] But trust me,
[02:59.54] You'll squeak by
[03:00.87] And get a C
[03:03.59] And you're still around
[03:05.19] To write this letter
[03:07.31] To me..
[03:09.49] You've got so much
[03:10.81] Up ahead
[03:13.47] You'll make new friends
[03:16.12] And you should see
[03:17.71] Your kids..
[03:19.35] And wife
[03:21.21] And I'll end by saying
[03:23.07] "Have no fear
[03:25.46] These are
[03:26.04] Nowhere
[03:27.64] Near
[03:28.43] The
[03:29.23] Best
[03:29.76] Years
[03:30.56] Of
[03:31.35] Your
[03:32.15] Life.."
[03:34.32] I guess I'll see you
[03:35.91] In the mirror
[03:37.77] When you're a grown man
[03:40.96] P.S. go hug Aunt Rita
[03:43.95] Every chance you can
[03:47.51] And oh, you got so much
[03:50.69] Going for you
[03:52.29] Going right
[03:53.13] But I know..
[03:54.99] At 17 it's hard to see
[03:57.91] Past Friday night
[04:00.34] I wish you'd study Spanish
[04:02.73] I wish you'd take
[04:04.06] A typing class
[04:05.68] I wish you wouldn't worry
[04:08.12] And let it be 😊
[04:10.56] Hey, I'd say
[04:12.15] "Have a little faith
[04:14.01] And you'll see.."
[04:18.80] If I could write a letter
[04:21.22] To me
[04:23.92] To me..
[04:30.83] ..*..
