Borrowing Nostalgia: Echoes of Youth and Regret
Lyrics
This was a ballpark
This place holds memories or significance
This was a band pass on your Saturday
A moment or experience during your weekend
Your nearly twice that age
You're almost twice the age now
But you remember
You still recall
Just the same
You remember it just as strongly
This was a free throw
Symbolic of an effortless act or opportunity
This was the low pass on your
A moment during a time off, like a vacation
Holiday
There's no easy way to avoid or escape it
There isn't a quick escape
A few remaining sparks and a lasting warmth
A couple of embers
Someone refrains from preaching what they don't understand
And a glow to stay
Words can't maintain or capture everything
Well one don't preach
One shouldn't teach something they don't comprehend
What one can't peep
There are things beyond one's capacity to communicate
My tongue don't reach
Comfortably pass the night without anxiety
What words won't keep
Unable to escape responsibility or consequence
Me up all night but
Disconnected from being a chosen individual
Just don't teach me
The lack of enjoyment or satisfaction without someone
Nothing I could otherwise
Pieces of past actions or achievements disappearing
Believe
Understanding what one has become from past experiences
Easy night
Unintentionally being distant from oneself from long ago
Cut from the smoking gun
A circumstance or situation difficult to escape
So much for a chosen one
Feeling trapped without options to avoid
Well I'm barely having fun
Avoidance isn't possible
Without you
Reflecting on a time long past and impossible to change
So one by one
Slowly losing parts of oneself or past actions
My little pieces
Understanding what one has achieved and transformed into
Of what I've done
No choice in being distant from one's past
And what I am become
Something impossible to avoid or run away from
And I didn't choose
Not having another option to avoid something
To be so long ago
Realization that escaping the past is impossible
Something I could slip away
No alternative to evade certain things
Nothing else I could escape
No other way to avoid certain situations
