Lyrics
I never thought I would change
Reflecting on unexpected personal changes.
Wanted things to stay the same
Desiring stability and resisting change.
Now I’m sitting here today
Presently contemplating the past.
Looking back at yesterday
Reflecting on past experiences.
I used to follow my heart
Prioritizing following instincts previously.
It didn’t seem so very hard
Believing following instincts was easier.
Now I’m sitting here today
Presently observing the passage of time.
Just watching time slip away
Regretting time slipping away.
Lost and weak
Feeling directionless and vulnerable.
Fight or flight
Describing a primal response to challenges.
We close our eyes to survive
Shutting out reality to cope.
Young and free
Embracing youth and freedom.
We’re growin’ up too fast
Expressing concern about growing up too quickly.
Slowing down to feel alive
Intention to slow down life's pace for fulfillment.
Old enough
Being mature enough but not feeling so.
We’re never old enough
Continuously feeling inadequate regarding maturity.
We’re just killing ourselves
Self-destructive behavior due to living hastily.
Living as fast as we can
Living life at a fast, potentially harmful pace.
But do you hear me?
Asking for acknowledgment and understanding.
Can you feel me ?
Seeking emotional connection and empathy.
We really need to change our ways
Recognizing the need for change in behavior.
It’s all so easy to say
Admitting the simplicity of advocating change.
Lost and weak
Reiteration of feeling lost and vulnerable.
Fight or flight
Describing the instinctive response to adversity.
We close our eyes to survive
Shutting out reality to cope, repeated.
Young and free
Emphasizing youth and freedom, repeated.
We’re growin’ up too fast
Expressing concern about growing up too quickly, repeated.
Slowing down to feel alive
Intention to slow down life's pace for fulfillment, repeated.
When it feels like everything’s getting out of control
Sensing a loss of control in life.
I’ll save the kid inside of me before he gets old
Commitment to preserving youthful innocence.
I feel like everything’s getting out of control
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by life.
I’ll save the kid inside of me before he gets old
Recommitting to preserving inner childlike wonder.
