Fingers on Memory

Hey there, sitting on your bedroom floor

With big dreams taped behind your bedroom door

Staring in the mirror,

wishing time would fly

Counting down the seasons,

eager to grow high

You’re in such a rush to finally break the shell

To leave behind the stories that you know so well

Let me tell you something 'bout the road ahead: Don't trade the

now for things you haven't said.

Oh, you’re gonna stumble,

you’re gonna fall

You’re gonna hit some walls too high and tall You’ll spend some

nights

just wondering who you are

And wondering if you'll ever reach a star But every tear you

cry and every heavy mile Is just teaching you how to wear

your smile So breathe it in,

don't rush the days away

You’ll love the person you become someday.

You’re gonna lose some friends along the way

And words you wish you never had to say

You’ll learn that broken hearts can patch and mend And every ending

is a brand new trend The magic isn't found when you arrive

It’s the simple art of being here alive So stop trying so

hard to have it figured out

There's beauty in the questions and the doubt.

Someday you’ll look back and understand Why things slipped right out of

your little hands The scars you’re scared of getting on your knees

Will turn into your armor in the breeze You're doing better than

you think you do

I'm so damn proud of everything in you.

Oh, you’re gonna stumble,

you’re gonna fall You’re gonna hit some walls too high and tall

You’ll spend some nights just wondering who you are

And wondering if you'll ever reach a star But every tear you

cry and every heavy mile Is just teaching you how to wear

your smile So breathe it in,

don't rush the days away You’ll love the person you become

someday.

Just hold on...

Keep your head up high.

It gets better, kid.

I promise you.
