[Verse 1]
If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at seventeen
First, I'd prove it's me by sayin' look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know it's tough
When you break up after seven months
[Pre-Chorus]
And yeah, I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
But all I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
[Chorus]
And, oh, you got so much goin' for you, goin' right
But I know at seventeen it's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you and still you feel like there's a knife
Stickin' out of your back and you're wonderin' if you'll survive
But you'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me
[Verse 2]
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely, well, don't just tap your brakes
And when you get a date with Bridgett, make sure the tank is full
On second thought, forget it, that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and Dad is right
