Lyrics
Everybody that was young and moving fast
Reflecting on people who were once young and fast-moving.
Seems they're getting older and they're holding on to the past
Observing that these individuals are aging and clinging to the past.
You know it doesn't last
Emphasizing the transient nature of life.
Find yourself a lady that is nice and sweet
Suggesting the idea of settling down with a kind and pleasant woman.
Fall in love, get married, and forget about all your dreams
Encouraging falling in love, getting married, and potentially abandoning one's aspirations.
Oh, how can this be?
Expressing disbelief or questioning the feasibility of the suggested life path.
Hate to say "I told you so"
Acknowledging the reluctance to say, "I told you so."
But that's a fact
Stating a factual statement, possibly related to the consequences of one's choices.
There's no turning back
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of certain decisions.
You knew what you were in for all this time
Asserting that the person was aware of the consequences from the beginning.
So stop your crying
Encouraging acceptance and discouraging regret.
And now you're looking through your old pictures
Describing the act of revisiting old photographs.
That each hold different stories
Highlighting that each picture encapsulates different life stories.
Of life without any worries
Portraying a time when life was carefree and without worries.
Wishing you can turn back time
Expressing a desire to turn back time.
But there's no denying
Acknowledging the inevitability of the current reality.
That all the things you did to fill the need
Recognizing that past actions taken to fulfill desires have left a sense of emptiness.
Turned out to be a little empty
Reiterating the emptiness resulting from past actions.
Empty
Emphasizing the emptiness of the current state of being.
Empty
Repetition of the concept of emptiness, intensifying the emotional impact.
Empty
-What ever happened to the days that you said would never end?
-Now you're struggling to find yourself a friend
-That would pretend to be
-All your past lovers wanted for you to see
-What could have been
-It turned to nothing
-And now you're looking through your old pictures
-That each hold different stories
-Of life without any worries
-Wishing you can turn back time
-But there's no denying
-That all the things you did to fill the need
-Turned out to be a little empty
-Empty
-Empty
-Empty
-Empty
-Empty
-Empty
-Empty
-So fucking empty
Expressing a strong emotional state of feeling empty.
