[Verse 1]

Note to self: clean the living room

Do the things you don't want to do

Maybe, fold that week old pile of clothes

And note to self: get some exercise

Feels bad and you have to try

But as far as I can tell that's how life goes


[Chorus]

And note to self: don't let yourself worry quite as much

It'll end up fine enough; it always has up until now

Something else: you should think of other people a little more

You should've thought of that before cause of everything you've written down, this the first note that you wrote for someone else

Note to self


[Verse 2]

Note to self: keep choosing her

Cause she's yours and wonderful

And 'ever is a long time to be sad

And one more thing: call your mother back

Talk for too long, it's probably half of what she'd like, but she's the only mother that you have


[Chorus]

Oh and don't let yourself worry quite as much

It'll end up fine enough; it always has up until now

Something else: you should think of other people a little more

You should've thought of that before cause of everything you've written down, this the first note that you wrote for someone else

Note to self


[Bridge]

And I don't know how long I have to keep reminding myself to be who I want to be and not somebody else

Just thought by now I'd figure out the who and how I want to be


[Outro]

Because I still let myself worry way too much

And it ends up fine enough; it always has and does still now

And I still need to think of other people more

Yes, I've thought of that before

Maybe one day I'll figure out you don't find peace till you love somebody else

You don't find peace till you love somebody else
