Lyrics
First started out with so much
Reflecting on the initial phase filled with enthusiasm and energy.
Vigor, everything so new.
Everything was fresh and novel.
In that time of so little doubt,
During a time when there was little uncertainty.
Knew exactly what to do.
Had a clear understanding of what actions to take.
Everything was so defined,
Things were well-defined; purposes were evident.
My purposes were clear,
Had a clear sense of direction.
Took on anything in the way
Took on challenges without hesitation.
And did it without fear.
Confronted obstacles fearlessly.
Good times, bad times,
Experienced both positive and negative times.
Haunt me looking back.
Reflecting on those times now brings emotional baggage.
Back I looked on years spent
Looking back on the years gone by.
And all the things I've seen.
Reviewing the experiences accumulated over time.
'Cause I'm so much older,
Feeling significantly older now.
You must know what I mean.
Assuming the listener can relate to the changes with age.
I've learned from those days,
Extracting lessons from both positive and negative experiences.
Both good and bad, thinking
Reflecting on the past, considering both the good and the bad.
Back on all those times I had.
Thinking about the various experiences during that time.
Good times, bad times,
Recalling the mixed emotions of good and bad times.
Haunt me looking back.
Memories of the past continue to affect the present.
Years have passed,
Reflecting on the passage of time.
And I'm still here;
Despite the years, still present and accounted for.
But things don't stay the same
Highlighting the inevitability of change.
Growing older questioning,
Questioning the process of growing older.
Things could never stay the
Recognizing that things can't remain the same.
Same.
What have I done?
Contemplating past actions and decisions.
What have I learned?
Reflecting on the lessons learned from past experiences.
And what have I gained?
Evaluating the overall gains from past endeavors.
Good times, bad times,
Memories of both positive and negative times linger.
Haunt me looking back.
Looking back triggers a revisitation of past experiences.
