Lyrics

Woke up in the same old skin
Different day but it’s wearing thin
Used to run, used to laugh too loud
Now I just drift through the crowd
Flashes hit me in the dark
Old bike rides and beat-up parks
I thought we’d never fade
But nothing gold ever stays
And they told me this is how it goes
You get older, but no one knows
What to keep and what to fake
What to fix and what to break
Back then, it all felt simple
Now it all just echoes faint
Used to glow like summer windows
Now I’m caught in picture frames
Back then, we felt immortal
Now I watch the colors drain
Guess the past is just a portal
And I keep walking through again
Used to cry for no real reason
Now I smile to hide the feeling
Used to think the world was kind
But truth just hit me over time
Now the rules all bend and shift
I blink and life goes missing quick
And every choice I made
Feels like another yesterday
And they told me, “don’t hold on too tight”
But letting go don’t feel so right
I still chase that younger version
Like a glitch in my immersion
Back then, it all felt magic
Now I watch it from the glass
Everything was cinematic
Now it’s static in the past
Back then, I felt protected
Now I float, a little cracked
Wish I’d said the things I meant then
But you can’t rewind it back
Maybe we were never meant to last
Just a phase the future had to pass
But I still see us in the sky
Like a memory that won’t die
Back then, it all felt realer
Now it flickers, then it’s gone
Used to scream into the ether
Now I hum along
Back then, I felt like someone
Now I’m dust behind the sun
Maybe that’s the way it happens
Still I wish I’d known to run
Back then…
Back then…
Back then…
