Lyrics
My mama told me
My mother advised me
That nothing lasts forever right now
Expressing the impermanence of things in the present moment
And I told her back
Responding to mother's advice
I think that I would rather not know
Preferring ignorance over knowing certain truths
What it's like to live the life I've always dreamed of
Describing the aspiration to experience a longed-for life
And watch it slip right through my fingers
Expressing the fear of losing the dreamed life
I'm at peace
Feeling a sense of calm and contentment
And it's kind of bittersweet
Acknowledging a mix of positive and negative emotions
And it's perfect but it's not worth it
Highlighting the paradox of perfection without lasting value
'Cause in a month or two or three
Awareness of an impending loss of peace in the future
I know I'm gonna lose my peace
Anticipating the inevitable loss of tranquility
I know I'm gonna lose my peace
Reiteration of the expected loss of peace
My daddy told me
Receiving advice from father
To live in the moment, oh oh
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present
And I told him back
Responding to father's advice
You don't even know
Challenging father's understanding of the situation
What it's like to be the ripe age of seventeen
Describing the challenges of being seventeen
And not live in the past, I'm making it last it's evergreen
Choosing to live in the present and make it everlasting
I'm at peace
Experiencing a state of tranquility
And it's kind of bittersweet
Recognizing the contradictory emotions of peace
And it's perfect but it's not worth it
Pointing out the lack of lasting value in perfection
'Cause in a month or two or three
Anticipating the future loss of peace
I know I'm gonna lose my peace
Reiterating the expectation of losing peace
I know I'm gonna lose my peace
Reaffirming the anticipation of losing peace
My peace of mind is a piece of my mind that I can't lose
Describing the fragility of peace of mind
My perfect days are perfect ways to make me blue
Expressing the paradox of perfect days causing sadness
Things are great, but I hate it 'cause it's temporary
Acknowledging the temporary nature of positive situations
My inner peace is my greatest adversary
Viewing inner peace as a significant opponent
But I'm at peace
Experiencing a state of calmness
Adn it's kind of bittersweet
Acknowledging the mixed emotions within tranquility
And it's perfect but it's not worth it
Highlighting the impermanence of perfection
'Cause in a month or two or three
Anticipating the future loss of peace
I know I'm gonna lose my peace
Reiterating the expectation of losing peace
I know I'm gonna lose my peace
Reaffirming the anticipation of losing peace
I know I'm gonna lose my peace
Reiterating the expectation of losing peace
I know I'm gonna lose my peace
-I now I'm gonna lose my peace
-I know I'm gonna lose my
