the letter Lyrics

Last week I got your letter

Addressed to my old house

I have no idea how on earth it even found me now

Last night, I read it, and then I came undone

'Cause I remember when we wrote it

An assignment just for fun

And that was way back in the fifth grade

A meager 10 years old

We're writing to our future selves, and checking in about our goals

Pretty sure I cried the whole time

Same sentimental me

Wish I could go back now and ask her for some advice at twenty-three

She'd say

Don't you dare forget how to dream

And try not to lose the confidence you had at seventeen

You're never too grown up to run through the sprinklers like I used to do

Love 10 year old you

You asked so many crazy questions, it really made laugh

Like 'Have the aliens invaded?' 'Is Mars a human habitat?

You told me all about your crushes, which had me flashin' back in time

And I remember all their faces, I really hope they turned out fine

You wondered"Did you get your permit? Did you ever learn to drive?"

You couldn't know then that at fifteen you'd be just trying to survive

You said"I'm really good at singing. Is that something you still do?""I really hope that after all this time you've gotten better too"

And don't you dare forget how to dream

Try not to lose the confidence you had at seventeen

Whenever you get sad, you should try to see the world like it's brand new

Love 10 year old you, ooooh

Oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh, oo-ooh oo-ooh

Don't you dare forget how to dream

How to let what you imagine fill up the whole galaxy

You're never too grown up for dreamin' big

Remember, I believe in you

Love 10 year old you, oh-woah

Yeah I believe in you, ooh

From 10 year old you

Hey I love you
