to my younger self (Roses) Lyrics

I wish the voices in your head could have been mine

So I could tell everything will be just fine

But that's the kind of thing you gotta learn with time and hindsight

Little did you know when it all started

That someday everyone would know your heart and

Those voices in your head would draw a crowd almost every night

Sometimes I look back at pictures

And I wanna tell you

Just let it happen at your pace

And you'd never guess but

It's just beginning

If you could see me now

Covered in roses

I tried to make you proud somehow

We're doing better than we hoped and

I wish that I could call and tell you

That everything you wished for, it came true

And one day they're gonna notice you

If you could see me now

Everything you feel you'll start to write

You won't worry about the darkness in the night

But I'm glad that you don't know that now cause I don't want things to change

Is it crazy that sometimes I think I see you in a crowded room and I

Just wanna run up and tell you

If you could see me now

Covered in roses

I tried to make you proud somehow

We're doing better than we hoped and

I wish that I could call and tell you

That everything you wished for, it came true

And one day they're gonna notice you

If you could see me now

Wish you could see what I see

Where I stand I'm not standing alone

Hold on, I'll take you places

You never dreamed that you would have gone

Feels like your bones are breaking

Just let them throw their sticks and stones

'Cause I know something that you don't know

If you could see me now

Covered in roses

I tried to make you proud somehow

We're doing better than we hoped and

I wish that I could call and tell you

That everything you wished for, it came true

And one day they're gonna notice you

If you could see me
