Looking out for You

My father tells me
I'm in the wrong crowd
Little does he know
All I wanna do is make him proud
They say put down the grey goose
Have a future do good in school
But what if I don't want to
Worry 'bout the rest of my life
Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ohh Ohh

When my Mom told my sister
It'll get better
High school can be cruel
And how short's that sweater
Getting caught on a Thursday
Sneaking out of that back window
And maybe we were thirsty for love
Or a little bit of lust

If I could write a letter to my younger self
I'd tell me that my future's just a living hell
But baby, keep your chin up
Don't back down, don't give up
It's gonna get better
I believe that's true
I'm just looking out for you
Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ohh Ohh

What are we doin' here
Fuckin' up and oversharing
Getting wasted with minors
Sober designated drivers
Making stupid mistakes, hangovers
Checking our class ranks
Goin' to church the next day
Feeling like you're so damn fake, yeah

Thinking it's the time of our lives
What if it's the time of our lives

If I could write a letter to my younger self
I'd tell me that my future's just a living hell
But baby, keep your chin up
Don't back down, don't give up
It's gonna get better
I believe that's true
I'm just looking out for you
Woah Oh
Woah Oh
Woah Oh

If I'm being honest
I'm scared of being nothing
I'm scared of never adding up
To who they were wanting
But at the end of the day
They're just crashed and broken hearts
Girl you're gonna get through
I'm just looking out for you
