I'd like to apologize to the 14-year-old me
I let you down by being weak-willed and a little bit slutty
I never thought that I could come this far in life
Without making a decision about how I planned to get here
Now I don't have a house
I don't have a car
I don't have a pool
I don't even have a breadmaker
And maybe someday soon
I will walk with purpose
And understand the reasons why I do the things that I do
But until that day,
I'd like you to remember
That all the dreams that you dreamed still count for something
I'd like to apologize to the 14-year-old me
I got distracted by comic books and bad TV
I didn't realize my insecurities would stay
And that things never really happen like they do in expensive movies
So I kissed too many boys when I was tired of waiting
And I let too many chances go 'cause I was scared of failing
And maybe someday soon
I will walk with purpose
And understand the reasons why I do the things that I do
But until that day,
I'd like you to remember
That all the dreams that you dreamed still count for something
They still count for something
And I made that promise 'bout marriage in Vegas
If we were both single by the time we were thirty
All along thinking that that wouldn't happen because
What kind of loser isn't married with babies
Picking outfits for bar mitzvahs and christenings
Pitying friends that don't have your great happiness
Let's do it, 'kay, let's just marry in September
I'll buy the rings if you buy a white tuxedo
And maybe someday soon I will walk with purpose
And understand the reasons why I do the things that I do
But until that day,
I'd like you to remember
That all the dreams that you dreamed still count for something
And though we don't talk anymore
About what the future holds
I want you to know that
You're gonna be just fine
