Dearest
Imagine writing a letter to your past self; what would you write? Would you tell yourself about your future? Or give some advice as to how to make your life better? And most of all, did you reach the dreams that you had tens years ago, or found a new one to follow as you grew up and found-- or still searching for-- your place in life? The contents of that letter are entirely up to you, and this song is the reflection behind one of the many letters those who're willing to take up the task would send to themselves if such a time-bending feat is possible.

Wunschliste
Waking up and seeing that no one's there
Makes you want to go back
Or leave a message
For the you ten years before
There's no need to write your future
It'll come on its own
What were you thinking at that time
What do you want to hear the most
Just a dreamer in high school
Waiting for time to pass you by
What did you do then
What are the dreams you've forgotten
The friends you've parted with
What are the chances that you still
Regret taking now
And what are the moments that made you proud
I'm thinking back, wondering now
How different it was back then
Were the things I loved
Still remained with me now
Was I what I wanted to be
When I was 18 and worried about it all?
Was I the dream I wanted to reach
Since I was 18, before everything mattered so much?
Was it me that drew on the walls
Splattering paint,
laughing like I'm the queen of the world
Was it me that ran out
Before the clock striked three
Dragging you with me
Through the streets, to the corner
With all of our things
Your flower beds, all your bouquets
My masterpieces, charcoal sketches
Splashed with colored paint like the walls
Was it still there
Buried under other broken things?
And if we came back
Would our old selves be there with them
Are we still us, or just a lost cause?
My handwriting hasn't changed much
It just got bigger and bolder
But the curves stayed the same
The gray lines were the same shade
And the words I would use
Never did change
But I've seen more now
I know what's coming next
I'm thinking back, wondering now
How different it was back then
Were the things I loved
Still remained with me now
Was I what I wanted to be
When I was 18 and worried about it all?
Was I the dream I wanted to reach
Since I was 18, before everything mattered so much?
Was it me that drew on the walls
Splattering paint,
laughing like I'm the queen of the world
Was it me that ran out
Before the clock striked three
Dragging you with me
Through the streets, to the corner
With all of our things
Your flower beds, all your bouquets
My masterpieces, charcoal sketches
Splashed with colored paint like the walls
Was it still there
Buried under other broken things?
And if we came back
Would our old selves be there with them
Are we still us, or just a lost cause?
I'll give myself some advice
A role model to follow
Make myself sound great
To ignite new hope
That's been missing for me since 13 began
Then I'll leave some notes with smiles
At the bottom, for me to make fun of
Because at least they haven't changed at all
