Happy new year!! This week’s song is a letter I wrote to my younger self. Here’s a little comic strip I drew tonight. I hope this first Saturday morning of the year feels fresh and clear in your corner of the world, as we make room for things to come. ❤️
Origin Story
Wish I Knew
What do you do when it’s fading
Jump a ship that needs saving
Left a light on at your window
But it makes me sadI miss my friends
My childhood room
College town where I spent
All my time driving to youMissed all your letters
I’m sorry I didn’t try
To treat you betterIt was a cold kind of hunger
That I felt then
Constantly ashamed of all the ways
I’d never measure up
Never be enough
Or all too muchHe took my hand
I thought it was a joke
He said, “No, you’re beautiful,
I mean it though”Missed all your letters
I’m sorry I didn’t try
To treat you better
Here’s a prayer to all the things
I never believed in enoughFor all my fears I’ll light a candle
Face a mirror and tell you that
I missed all your letters
Sorry I didn’t try
To treat you betterMissed every letter
Wish I knew what I could do
And that it matteredI’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
