If I could spare you junior high, I would
Stop this world, but somehow let you fly, if only I could
‘Cause I remember recess, flailing wild at some kid I barely knew.
I spent sixth grade throwing punches at the air.
You’ve got a beautiful heart
Don’t let them take it from you
And when you feel like your whole damn world just fell apart
Know that I cried when I wrote this cause I stood exactly where you are
And days like these are why we got you Nash and that guitar
Here’s a song for the next for the few, song for the next few, song for the next few years
I wish to God there was a better way
Than let this world sink its teeth in you
But you can’t really live or love if you’re afraid of falling
So here’s a song for the days you do.
You’ve got a beautiful heart
Don’t let them take it from you
And when you feel like your whole damn world just fell apart
Know that I cried when I wrote this cause I stood exactly where you are
And days like these are why we got you Nash and that guitar
Here’s a song for the next for the few, song for the next few, song for the next few years
Mom and I don’t care who you love
We only care that they love you.
You’ve got the kind of heart meant to change the world
There’s a bigger stage out there that waits for you.
You need to know you don’t have to earn our love
But know as well you couldn’t make it go away
And when the truths that come with knowing try to drag you down
Know that hearts like yours always find better days
You’ve got a beautiful heart
Don’t let them take it from you
And when you feel like your whole damn world just fell apart
Know that I cried when I wrote this cause I stood exactly where you are
And days like these are why we got you Nash and that guitar
Here’s a song for the next for the few, song for the next few, song for the next few years
