Dear self, I know you're crying out for help, so I thought I'd write this letter, what are you now, like 12?
I know it seems like the pressure's stuck on high, but I've come from the future to tell you it's fine
You need to worry less about how you are perceived, and focus a bit more on the things that you believe
Cause I know it seems like now you don't have your place, but it will all fit together, trust me it's the case
So get out there, and do all the things you love, and don't you dare sacrifice them just to look good
Oh, read some of those books, sitting on the shelf, drinking that knowledge, this is a letter to myself
I know, it's a long, long way to go, when you're at the start, but before you know, you're halfway down the road
And everything seems smaller, everything seems smaller
Everything seems smaller, everything seems smaller
Go easy on your parents, they don't know what they're doing
Actually, they're still growing up, mate, they're only human
Your teens and your twenties will fly by in a flash
You'll cherish every moment, embrace every laugh
You're gonna find films of the songs of the Smiths
And in that whole universe for you to exist
It's gonna teach you that others feel the same
They're gonna be your friends, they're still your friends today
All your greatest days are still yet to come
There will be heartbreak, but there'll be so much love
And that girl from school, you think there's no one better
She's not the one for you, mate, just forget her
I know, it's a long, long way to go, when you're at the start, but before you know, you're halfway down the road
And everything seems smaller, everything seems smaller
But I'm not here to tell you which way to go
That's a decision you've gotta make on your own
And you're gonna make mistakes, but from each you will learn
For every wrong turn is experience earned
And trust me, it's a journey, it's happening now
And you're gonna do something new, and you're gonna learn
So many things that make you proud
Don't get me wrong, it's not all plain sailing
There's times you're in front, and times that you're failing
The world is so much bigger than the one at school
And if you saw me now, you'd probably think I was cool
So work hard, and leave nothing to look
Every time you fall, you will get up
Don't rush, take some time to be a kid
And don't beat yourself up for stupid stuff you did
Trust me, I know exactly what you're gonna do
Love yourself, you're sincerely you
There's a long, long way to go
When you're at the start, before you know
You're halfway down the road
And everything seems smaller
Everything seems smaller
Everything seems smaller
There's a long, long way to go
Woah, woah
When everything seems smaller
Everything seems smaller
Everything seems smaller
Woah, woah
When you're at the start, so new

It seems like a very small backup
