You’ve got so much ahead of you,
So much I haven’t seen.
I hope you find a life you love,
Whatever that may mean.

[Verse 1]
You come walking down the stairs,
With your own new sense of style.
You ask me, “Does this look alright?”
Like somehow I would know.

I say, “You look beautiful.”
You laugh, “You have to say that.”
But I mean it every single time,
Even when you turn your back.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m learning how to step aside,
Let you choose what happens next.
But some things I will tell you
Till you know them without asking.

[Chorus]
You don’t have to earn my love,
You don’t have to get it right.
You can call me with good news,
You can call me late at night.

Be yourself, change your mind,
Take your time to figure out
Who you are and what you want,
What you’ll never live without.

You’ve got a whole life of your own,
And I’ll be cheering you along.
If you ever need reminding,
That’s why I wrote this song.

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, wherever you go,
Oh-oh, I hope you know.
You don’t have to earn my love.
You don’t have to earn my love.

[Verse 2]
There’ll be people with opinions,
There’ll be plans that come undone.
There’ll be days you need a minute,
You don’t owe that to anyone.

Find the friends who let you finish,
Who remember what you say.
Find someone who loves your laughter,
Never asks you to be less.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I won’t have every answer,
Though I wish sometimes I did.
I can listen while you tell me,
You don’t need to fix a thing.

[Chorus]
You don’t have to earn my love,
You don’t have to get it right.
You can call me with good news,
You can call me late at night.

Be yourself, change your mind,
Take your time to figure out
Who you are and what you want,
What you’ll never live without.

You’ve got a whole life of your own,
And I’ll be cheering you along.
If you ever need reminding,
That’s why I wrote this song.

[Bridge]
I’ve been proud of little moments
You probably never knew.
The way you notice someone left out,
And make a little room.

You might think I’m only watching
For the big things that you do.
But the person you’re becoming,
That’s what I love seeing in you.

[Final Chorus]
You don’t have to earn my love,
You don’t have to get it right.
You can call me with good news,
You can call me late at night.

Be yourself, change your mind,
There is no one you must be
To deserve the kind of love
You will always have from me.

You’ve got a whole life of your own,
And I’ll be cheering you along.
If you ever need reminding,
You can come back to this song.

[Outro]
You’ve got so much ahead of you,
And I hope you always know:
I loved you from the beginning,
And I’ll love who you become.
