Aim a Little Higher by Kailey Nicole Lyrics
Verse 1
I wrote a letter to the old me
The girl that used to think
Love’s a simple recipe of sweet tea and harmony
How dumb could she be
I wrote a page about that one guy
Who had a little devil
In his eyes
He’s buttering you up and telling charming little lies
He’s got a thing for double lives
PRE
So from the older and wiser
I think I should advise you
To call it off before it can start
CHORUS 1
Momma won’t tell you and your daddy didn’t say
You’ll get love in fleeting glimpses
But it always fades away
Bеfore ya put a diamond on that pretty little hand
Makе sure you got a prenup and a decent piece of land
Papa never told ya
There’s a 50/50 chance
You’ll spend summers in Boise, Idaho and not the south of France
So before you take my letter
And throw it on the fire
If you only take one thing from this
Aim a little higher
Verse 2
Don’t skip the page about your tendency
Of finding boys with broken wings
You give them everything
Fixing them up and then they leave
They’ll never give you what you need
PRE
So from the older and wiser
I think I should advise you
To call it off before it can start
CHORUS 2
Momma won’t tell you and daddy didn’t say
You’ll get love in fleeting glimpses
But it always fades away
Before ya put a diamond on that pretty little hand
Make sure you got a prenup and a decent piece of land
Papa never told ya
There’s a 50/50 chance
You’ll spend summers in Boise, Idaho and not the south of France
So before you take my letter
And throw it on the fire
If you only take one thing from this
Aim a little higher
Bridge
And to close I wrote a paragraph
About this boy who’ll make you laugh
He likes the sunrise
He isn’t perfect but he tries
And girl he’ll love you till the day he dies
Pre 2
So from the older, the wiser
I think I should advise ya
That he’s the one that’s right for your heart
CHORUS 3
Momma didn’t tell ya and daddy didn’t say
That there’s someone right for everyone
As long as you can wait
He’s gonna put a diamond on that pretty little hand
But you’ll still need a prenup and a decent piece of land
Papa once told ya
Back in the day
Ya get a good one on the hook don’t let him slip away
So before you take my letter
And throw it on the fire
If you only take one thing from this
Aim a little higher
