The Way it Was Before
Nostalgic Reflections: Embracing Life's Changes Through Johnny Stimson's Melody
Lyrics
Oh
Expressing an emotion or realization
Feels like yesterday
Reflecting on the recent past
I was living at my parents' house
Recalling a time living with parents
I blinked and things changed
Life changed unexpectedly
Fast forward and I was moving out
Moving out from parents' house
I can only exist in three dimensions at a time
Limited by reality
Who am I to resist a river flowing left to right?
Accepting the natural course of events
It's like we've been dancing in the dark (oh yeah)
Metaphor for navigating challenges
A great big expansion from a spark
Life's significant moments
Over in a moment
Transience of experiences
Finished in a flash
Quick and fleeting
Slipping through my fingers
Loss slipping away
Life's an hourglass
Life's duration and passing
Shattered on the floor, oh
Emotional breakdown
It'll never be the way it was before
Nostalgia for the past
No
Feels like yesterday
Reflecting on falling in love
I was falling in love
Recalling a romantic experience
Then came the heartbreak
Inevitable heartbreak following love
Like it always does
Recurring theme of heartbreak
Nobody escapes it
Universal experience of challenges
Time's a losing game
Time as an unstoppable force
Might as well embrace it
Accepting and living through challenges
'Til it flies away
Cherishing moments before they pass
Know that nobody can stay forever young (forever young)
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging
Wish I could just take a break from growing up (from growing up)
Desire to pause the process of growing up
It's like we've been dancing in the dark
Reiteration of navigating challenges
A great big expansion from a spark
Significant moments in life
Over in a moment
Emphasizing the transience of experiences
Finished in a flash
Quick and fleeting moments
Slipping through my fingers
Loss slipping away
Life's an hourglass
Repetition of life's duration and passing
Shattered on the floor, oh
Emotional breakdown
It'll never be the way it was before
Nostalgia for the past
The way it was before
Repeating the longing for the past
Over in a moment
Reiteration of the transience of experiences
Finished in a flash
Quick and fleeting moments
Slipping through my fingers
Loss slipping away
Moving way too fast
Life moving too fast
Wish I had just a little more, oh oh
Desire for more time
It'll never be the way it was before
Nostalgia for the past
