Photo sitting on the mantle top
Wondering how I’ll be when I grow up
Now my future’s just a memory
And I’ll say that about this version of me

These future memories are my remedy
These future memories will heal what’s left of me
I haven’t felt this optimistic in a while
I wish that never changed cause I'm not a child

Ballerina girl in the 21st century
Her teachers tell her she’s too curvy
Counting lucky stars like she counts calories
The mark remains inside my mind and I was only sixteen

These future memories are my remedy
These future memories will heal what’s left of me
I haven’t felt this optimistic in a while
I wish that never changed cause I'm not a child

I let my past control how I’ve been feeling now
I don’t know if I think things happen for a reason
But I know it’s gonna be alright
I think I’ll be just fine
