I miss the old days

Cheap beer and guitars

When did I get so caught up in the scene

Am I the same girl you used to call honey

And if I'm not

3,000 miles
Highlighting the physical distance, but implying that it hasn't erased memories.
Isn't enough to forget

Evergreens and mountains
Referencing natural elements and intimate moments.
Falling asleep on your chest
Recalling a sense of security and comfort, possibly in a relationship.
Thought I'd be stronger
Expressing a sense of vulnerability despite expectations of personal strength.
Standing on my own two feet
Questioning personal strength while standing independently.
So I walked down a lonely street
Choosing a challenging path to prove self-worth.
Just to prove myself to me
Emphasizing the personal journey undertaken for self-validation.

Am I the same girl you used to call honey

And if I'm not, if I'm not, if I'm not

And if I'm not, if I'm not, if I'm not
Continuing the emphasis on the uncertainty of personal continuity.
And if I'm not, if I'm not, if I'm not
Concluding with a final repetition of the uncertainty surrounding personal identity.
