Cover art for The Age of Worry lyrics by John Mayer

I think you're onto something, about his parents here. I think he's saying that while you're young make the most of making mistakes. Be surprised at what you like and enjoy your parents and others being worried about you to the MAX hehe

I love these lyrics: "No you fight is not within Yours is with your timing Dream your dreams but don't pretend Be friends with what you are Give your heart then change your mind You're allowed to do it 'Cause God knows it's been done to you And somehow you got through it"

I think he's saying to just let yourself BE and enjoy whatever life's processes you're experiencing. Perhaps he's giving advice to his own child, in a way that will allow their creativity and self-esttem to flourish and thrive.

"To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." - William Shakespeare
