Playing Back the Days
Nostalgic Reflections: 'Playing Back the Days' by Boston the Girl
Lyrics
What am I supposed to
Questioning what actions to take
When you're all dreamin of something new
Others aspire for something new while I remain
and I'm still here
Feeling stationary or unchanged
How am I supposed to be
Uncertain about how to exist
Sitting here with plain old me
Sitting with my unaltered self
Who's gonna run the show
Wondering who will take charge
I guess I could wait
Considering waiting
Try and make my own mistakes
Willing to make personal mistakes
I'll look back and see
Reflecting on the past
You're not waiting for me
Realizing you're not expecting my return
You're growing up without me
Understanding you're progressing without me
Either way I'll be
Resigned to reliving memories
Playing back the days
Replaying past experiences
Please come back soon
Desire for your swift return
Do you think we'll stay the same
Questioning if we'll remain unchanged
Or bloom like flowers in the rain
Contemplating growth or transformation
Maybe disappear
Pondering the possibility of disappearing
I'd like to think things wouldn't change
Hoping for things to remain constant
I'll be praying that my name
Hoping my identity remains familiar to you
Will always feel like home
Longing for my name to feel like a comforting place
I guess I could wait
Considering waiting again
Try and make my own mistakes
Willingness to learn from personal errors
I'll look back and see
Reviewing past choices
You're not waiting for me
Realizing you're moving forward independently
You're growing up without me
Acknowledging your growth without me
Either way I'll be
Accepting the role of reminiscing about the past
Playing back the days
Continuing to replay memories
Please come back soon
Repeating the plea for your return
Please come back soon
Reiteration of the plea for your return
Please come back soon
-Please come back soon
-Please come back soon
-I'll look back and see
Confirming you're evolving without me
You're not waiting for me
Recognizing your progression independently
You're growing up without me
Understanding your growth without my involvement
Either way I'll be
Accepting the continuous act of reminiscing
Playing back the days
Repeating the act of replaying past experiences
Playing back the days
-Playing back the days
Continuation of replaying past moments
