In five years time I'll remember sixteen
And look back dreamy eyes at the happy boy I used to be
Last night I cried in the shower again
Hope I didn't wake my family, I don't want to worry them
Yet people say these are the easiest years of our lives
Something took hold of me in seventh grade
And put dread in my stomach that still hasn't faded away
This illness I've nurtured is part of me now
Took four years of hard work but I'm certain it's part of me now
And it's hard to explain but at times I don't want to get better
My mind's an unreliable, sentimental prick
With an eye for the sorry nostalgia I'm wallowing in
No matter how badly I want to backwards
The only thing I'm in control of right now is the future
So like I've said each September that I still remember
This'll be my year, I can feel it.
