I was 15 once and I remember it as the hardest year of my life
I was busy writing songs to a guitar that I couldn't play yet
I remember 16 wasn't much better I had a girlfriend who I spent all my time with
And I had a band but we weren't all okay yet
In fact we were pretty goddamn awful
I remember riding arond in my car for no reason putting miles on it
Well I guess some things just don't happen to change
But at 17 I was doing bad things, I was staying out late, I was hanging with fiends
And I hope that you can learn from all the poor choices I made
But if you don't happen to, I think you'll end up okay
And I feel the sun on my back and I'm reminded of the warmth I feel when I'm hangin with you
And every time a friend can make me laugh
Oh I can't find it in myself, no one's funnier than you
And you and me need to look out for each other
You and me are in this together
And when you're 18 I want you to be like me I want you to start treading on the path you need to find yourself
Remember to be kind and courteous but don't feel like you need to take people's shit
You are clever and smart but you might need some help
along the way and don't refuse it 'cause it's okay
