Letter To My 13 Year Old Self (with Laufey)

Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair

Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere

Voices echo in the gym

Another girl's had her first kiss

Please don't make too much of this

Darling

I'm so sorry that they pick you last

Try to say your foreign name and laugh

I know that you feel loud

So different from the crowd

Of big blue eyes and long blonde hair, and boys that stare, but

Baby, know that

You'll grow up and grow so tough and charm them

Write your story

Fall in love a little, too

The things you thought you'd never do

I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze

Myself at thirteen

And just let her know

Know that she's beautiful

Ooh, keep on going with your silly dream

Ooh, life is prettier than it may seem

One day, you'll be up on stage

Little girls will scream your name

The days of tears, and failure fears, and "no one cares" will

All make sense 'cause

You'll grow up and grow so confident, and

Write your story

Fall in love a little, too

The things you thought you'd never do

I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze

Myself at thirteen

And just let her know

Know that she's beautiful

Oh, so beautiful

Ooh, ooh, ooh
