Lyrics Note To Self - Ben Rector

Note To Self

Note to self: clean the living room
Do the things you don’t want to do
Maybe fold that week old pile of clothes
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
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 shoulda thought of that before
Cause of everything you’ve written down
This is the first note that you wrote for someone else
Note to self
Note to self: keep choosing her
Cause she is yours and wonderful
And for-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
I don’t know how long I have to keep reminding myself
To be who I want to be and not somebody else
I just thought by now I’d figure out the who and how I want to be
Cause 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
Until you love somebody else
You don’t find peace
Until you love somebody else
Note to self
