Personal-

Christine- High School crush, wasted too much time on that campaign.
“Carry the cross”, I actually married a woman named Kari La Croix (la croix is French for the cross)
Stock- I got in to Tesla super early, I made money, but not the millions by stock wouldve been worth now.
Smoking, didn’t start until I was 30, then smoked for ten years.
I used to drink a lot of coke, and I gave myself diabetes.

lyrics

Dear 15,
It's me 45!

(I) just found this mixtape from ‘87.
It's a roadmap through hell on route to heaven.
Please forgive this diachronic crime,
You could use some tweaks while there's still time.

“The One I Love” and then “No New Tale to Tell”-
Your high school heartaches only last a spell.
Just relax, Christine is not the one.
You'll carry the cross, then you’ll marry the pun.

If you hold onto your stock, you'll become a millionaire.
There's so much pain ahead, but don't despair.
I know you know, that we really never should smoke.
But it's all the sugar that gets us, from all that Coke.

“Red Rain” goes into “One Tree Hill”
School work is worth it, if you can swallow the pill.
Mom will die soon, I wish we could save her life.
Enjoy her while you can, try to keep it light.

“Satch Boogie” and finished with “How Soon is Now?”
Be wary of your OCD, don't get lost in the clouds.
No one ever has long enough.
Smooth sailin’ can be so rough.
