Elliott's Song Lyrics

Hello son, so nice to meet you

I assume you found this box

In the attic hidden somewhere

Near my vinyl song collection

And you're probably all grown up

With a family of your own

Or you're just starting a family

Or you're just now leaving home

Either way this letter finds you

At a juncture in your life

Since us old things found in attics

Tend to surface by surprise

But just know that as I write this

I am only thirty two

With your mom all super pregnant

And I'm days from meeting you

And I know you made mistakes

Hell I probably made a few

But right now just sit down

I am so damn proud of you

So live your life and live it well

Build a fort no foe can fell

Find a girl who loves your branches

Then find a place to plant your roots

And never live to far from family

Those you get and those you choose

Never fear the cost of progress

You won't succeed without a bruise

And always tell the ones you love

You love them

Write it on their shoes

Like when I

Wrote on yours

I am so damn proud of you

La da la da da da da

La da da da da da bah da bah bah

La da la da da da da

La da da da da da bah da bah bah

And when your scared I'll be the bear

And when your hurt I will be there

And when your lost I'll be the way

And when it's night I'll be the day

And there is nothing you can do

Nothing you can say

To make me run away

To make my love undo

I am just so damn proud of you

La da la da da da da

La da da da da da bah da bah bah

La da la da da da da

La da da da da da bah da bah bah

Untie your shoes and turn them over

Write these words upon your soul

Then double-knot the two together

Take your aim and let them go

Untie your shoes and turn them over

Write these words upon your soul

Then double-knot the two together

Take your aim and let them go
