Letter to a Past Self

[Verse 1]

Keep your head up

So far you've beaten all your worst days

Even when your heart gave way

So open your eyes

It's really not that bad outside

When's the last time you watched the clouds go by?

[Verse 2]

The pain in your heart

Just know, it's making you stronger

Even if it lasts a little bit longer

So climb off the ledge

It's hard to know that God is dead

Everything you need's inside your head

[Chorus]

Hey you, don't quit

The race before it starts

And hold strong

When your life's falling apart

[Verse 3]

And on 11th Ave

The night when you cried upon the shoulder

Realized you were only getting older

Trust me

You just gotta give it time

And on Elizabeth Street

You watched as Mary broke her teeth

As the sirens took you out to sea

[Bridge]

Oh kid, you're born to die

Yes, I'll be by your si-i-ide

[Chorus]

Hey you, don't quit

The race before it starts

And hold strong

When your life's falling apart

[Instrumental]
