I found a note from four years ago
Listing all the things I’d hoped to do before I turned 17
Here I am just a week from October 18
And I haven’t done a thing
I wanted to graduate
have a boy take me out on my first date
learn enough Spanish to conversate
find a group of friends with whom I could truly relate
Now I’m Sitting Here Just The Same As I Was
But A Little Less There And A Little Less Fun
I Don’t Know Who I Expected To Be
But It Isn’t Who I Am
Wanted To Watch A Garden Grow
Travel Upstate And Play In The Snow
Read The Classics And Memorize Works By Van Gogh
There Were So Many Things I Was Dying To Know
So to the girl I was four Years Ago Today
Here’s A Bit Of Advice You’ve Learned Along The Way
Keep Your Head Up Keep Your Eyes Bright
Make Your Own Path Never Lose Sight
Wipe Away Your Tears When You Cry
cause soon You’ll Understand How Fast Time Flies
When You’re A Week From 17
