Years came and went
Always did as I chose
Expectations arose,
I think they knew I wasn’t coming around.
We do as we please
When we’re living out the scene
We’d loiter in no shame
Procrastinate, my repertoire, and my token trait,
Learned to live free
Never thought about it twice
Always knew I was right,
Always knew I’d be fine,
Never stopped questioning,
Always loved it for what,
For what it was!
Won’t accept anything less,
Cuz time can’t take back,
This feeling I get.
---
Step into that place
Where you knew every face
And time, stood still
For that, two minute thrill
Way back when!
You were just a kid!
who never tried it at home
And mommy told you No,
So you snuck out to that show
Way back when,
You were just a kid!
With open eyes and ears,
You held the feeling dear
Sometimes I ask myself
How long this feeling should last
Cuz experts agree
We’re living in the past!
