Letter To My Younger Self Songtext
von Trine-Lise Væring

Dear T
You just lost your virginity
You were in a rush, needed to tick that box
At 14 you think you′re all grown up
From where I stand
I know you're not
Dear T
Don′t take everything so seriously
You keep both feet on the ground at all times
But you don't have to try so hard at 17
You don' t need to outsmart them
And you don′t have to prove yourself to me
Dear T

Be more reckless
Have more fun
You can′t travel back in time
Those days will soon be gone


Dear T
You just met the man you of your dreams
You were both in a rush, went ahead and tied the knot
At 21 you got it all figured out
But you can't see the road ahead
When your head is in the clouds

Dear T
Time to start a family
Will it cramp your style? Will you love the child?
I wouldn′t worry, after all you're 33
You will love that boy so hard
He′ll be your pride and joy and so will she
Dear T

Take the time to smell their skin
You don't need to keep going, as if
Everything ′s the same
Feel the breeze
Enjoy the run
You can't travel back in time
Those days will soon be gone


Dear T
You're not happy at 43
Most anyone will do, you really don′t have a clue, do you?
You′ll feel the walls cave in and your whole world collapse
But you're not out there on your own
I′ll always have your back

Dear T
You're driven and it′s not healthy
You don't know when to stop, you just can′t give up
At 52 you're still taking on the world
Back down a little now and be a clever girl

Have more patience
Go easy on yourself
And you will be more patient
With everybody else
Be more reckless
Have more fun
'Cause You can′t travel back in time
Those days will soon be gone
Those days will soon be gone
Those days will soon be gone
Those days will soon be gone
