to my old blonde hair
i know that i have failed you
i have grown to be the very thing you hated
dearest old blonde hair
you might think that i have lost it
i don’t do the things i used to do
and i hate to break it to you
but when you become my age
you’re not gonna do them too
dear my bleach blonde self
you’re never gonna get that septum piercing
one day you’re gonna quit smoking
one day you will hate being in a band
and when you're older
you’re never gonna be that happy again
in fact most days are pretty shitty
but it’s gonna be better than it was way back when when
i know that you don’t need me to spell out exactly what that means
but if you heard this when you were nineteen
you’d be thankful that i said it then not now
i know you hate them but for the love of god
listen to your parents
you’re not gonna make it that far where you are
you’ll still hate cops
in fact you’re gonna hate a lot of things
but you’re also going to learn to be forgiving
in fact you’re gonna want forgiveness
more than you’ve ever wanted anything
and if you get it, it’s gonna feel better than
thinking you're right
you’re gonna fall so hard in love
that you think you won’t deserve it
it might happen a couple times
but it’s cool that you get to even experience that in life
to my old blonde hair
i know that i have failed you
i have grown to be the very thing you hated
dearest old blonde hair
i hope that you forgive me
because trust me
you're gonna want to be forgiven too
