Lyrics Dear Mr. Potter - Hank Green

Dear Mr. Potter

Dear Harry Potter
I got a lot to say to you
I don’t expect you to listen
After all that you’ve been through
But I’m saying this for me, I’m not saying it for you
Yes I’m saying it for a few other people too
And it’s true that overall you get a positive review
But I hope you don’t mind I’ve just got one question for you
Well is this it?
Is this the last piece of the pie
The pie that most of us have been eating all of our adult lives
Is this it?
Is this what we’ve been waiting for
To watch as Daniel Radcliffe valiantly pretends to fight your war
Is this it?
Is this it?
Is this it?
Is this it?
Dear Mr. Potter
You did a lot for m
You helped me pick up this guitar larn more than G, C and D
You launched my whole career, in actuality
If it weren’t for you then literally none of this would be
So I am hugely in your debt.
there’s no doubt about that
But I’m sorry if it seems if I won’t get off your back
'Cause is this it?
Is this the last piece of the pie
The pie that most of us have been eating all of our adult lives
Is this it?
Is this what we’ve been waiting for
To watch as Alan Rickman tells us all why Snape killed Dumbledore
Is this it?
Is this it?
Is this it?
Is this it?
Dear Mr. Potter
I hope that you don’t mind
But it turns out it’s been years since we left you behind
Because we’re here because we love you, we’re not here for you
We’re here to watch and learn and sing and make videos for YouTube
But more than any of that, we’re here to be with our friends
And that is clearly not the sort of thing that will ever end
So this ain’t it
This ain’t it
This ain’t it
This ain’t it
This ain’t it
This ain’t it
This ain’t it
This ain’t it
No this ain’t it.
No, this place was built to last
We’ve got more fun in our future than we have in our past
This ain’t it.
We’re to watch and sing and play
We’re gonna love these books and each other until our dying day
Cause this ain’t it
