Dear future me… I hope we made it far I hope we became the astronaut I dream I are Looking at stars like they’re close enough to touch Like space still feels like magic and such I hope my friends are still the ones I trust Still laughing like nothing ever changed us Still playing like we don’t grow out of time Like we never had to leave that behind I’ve always wanted a dog by my side Something that stays through every ride And I like to think by the time we get older Cars might fly and the world feels closer I hope I still feel like anything can grow Like there’s no ceiling I already know I hope I still run when I hear my name Not just walk through life the same I hope the world still feels big and wide Like there’s always something left to find And if I change, I hope it’s not too much That I still feel life the way I love I hope I don’t forget this feeling inside The one that makes everything feel alive I’m gonna be something I can’t define Something bigger than my own mind I don’t know how, I just know I will Like the whole world is standing still If I change along the way I go Don’t let me lose what I already know I’ll figure it out, I’ll find my way Just don’t let me drift too far away Astronaut sounded cool at the time Like touching stars would be easy to find But real life’s heavier than space from ground Still, I look up, just different now You said friends would stay the same as before Truth is, that part didn’t last anymore But we got a family holding it down Got a place that finally feels like home You wanted a dog, yeah, that one came true Got two now, they follow me like they always knew And those flying cars you were dreaming about Yeah, I’m still waiting for them to figure that out Some of those dreams, yeah they stayed alive Some got lost just trying to survive I didn’t become everything you planned But I still became the best I can I still hear you when it gets too loud Like a voice I can’t quite block out And if I could talk to you face to face I’d tell you don’t lose that feeling in your chase I’m still becoming something I can’t define Still carrying you inside my mind We didn’t break, we bent out of shape And came back stronger than what we gave If you’re still there when I fall behind Don’t let go of that voice of mine I didn’t lose you, I brought you through Every part of me still leads back to you
