What You Had
Embracing Life's Fleeting Moments: What You Had by Kenny Jeon
Lyrics
Life comes at you way to fast
Life moves quickly, and it's hard to keep up.
For you to see all that you have
Often, you may not realize or appreciate everything you possess.
But it's too late now
Regret or realization that it's now too late to change things.
It's all in the past now
Reflecting on the past, recognizing it's irreversible.
So worried about what lies ahead
Concern about the future, perhaps anxiety or uncertainty.
You should think about the present instead
Suggesting a focus on the present moment instead of future worries.
Cause it'll be gone soon
Time is passing rapidly; a reminder that the present will become the past.
So make sure you stay tuned
Encouragement to pay attention and be engaged in the current moment.
How you grow up so fast
Expressing surprise at how quickly one has grown up.
Blink of an eye ten years have passed
Time passing rapidly, highlighting the fleeting nature of life.
Where has the time gone
Wondering where the time has gone; a sense of disbelief.
How has it been so long
Realization of the considerable time that has elapsed.
You're on this train that keeps on moving
Metaphor of life as a train journey, constantly moving forward.
You want it to turn around
Desire for a change or reversal in life's course.
But you can't stop this train
Acknowledging the unstoppable nature of time and life's journey.
The scenery outside will change
Anticipating changes in life's experiences as time progresses.
Going past memory station
Passing through memories, reminiscent of revisiting the past.
Well you try to look back
Attempting to look back at the past.
To catch a glimpse
Trying to capture a fleeting glimpse of past experiences.
But all of the view is gone
Realizing that the past is no longer visible or accessible.
Oh that old you is gone
Acknowledging the irreversible change in one's identity over time.
Wishing you could turn back time
Expressing a desire to go back in time, a common nostalgic sentiment.
And slow it down so that you
Wishing to slow down time to fully appreciate the present moment.
Can appreciate all that you have
Expressing the importance of appreciating what one currently possesses.
Before it became what you had
Reflecting on the transition from present to past and the value of what was once possessed.
