lyrics

If I meet my high school self today, would I be able to stand him? Well probably not!
It's hard enough for me to stand myself today.
Would I reprimand him or attempt to understand him, hey that's a thought,
who's to say if I ought to even think of him anyway.

And to think, how much I've learned. It really makes me sick to think that I was him
But not in a super sad way. If I'm sugar coating it was all just pains from growing.

I had a vision in a dream that I looked god in the eye and he apologized for making me a man
He said you should've been born of snow but let it go, just let it go, maybe when you're dead you just might understand
I replied, "yeah dude, I think I might know what you mean, because my emotions are misaligned with my thoughts.
but I think I'll stick around, maybe go for a walk, and try to postpone this body as it slowly rots.

When you learn it all, teach me what is true, I really wish I knew!
and if we're still friends next fall, then we'll throw a parade, five years from today.
And to think, how much I've learned. It really makes me sick to think that I was him
But not in a super sad way. If I'm sugar coating it was all just pains from growing.
