Wish I could write myself a song
For my teenage radio
So I?d hear through broken headphones
All the things that I now know
And I?d start with it gets better
Yeah this page is gonna turn
Cause right now that's the one thing
That I wish that I had heard
Now the road won?t be so easy
So roll those windows down
And If you look you?ll see the beauty
Anywhere that you breakdown
Hold on to these moments
They?re flying by so fast
Take the time with the ones you love
Like a chance you can?t get back
Make a million memories
So when you?re old and gray
All the faces in those photographs
Smile back at you and say
You didn?t let the days God gave you get away
Don?t buy the lies you tell yourself
Fight for what is true
And don?t let those little troubles
Steal the biggest parts of you
Take your faith so serious
Yourself not so much
And remember you?re still loved
Even when you mess it up
Hold on to the ones who love ya
Don?t let the bad times own ya
Stare down the fears you gotta face
Take time to stop and listen
For what you might be missing
And let go the things you just can?t change
