Lyrics

I'm feeling sad from days long gone

I'm feeling sad about past days.

Like we did something wrong to make them move along

Reflecting on potential mistakes that led to separation.

And in my head my memories they play on endlessly like movies

Memories replaying in the mind like endless movies.

And it feels like it did seven years ago or yesterday

Emotional connection to the past, feeling like it happened recently.

Can't tell the difference and I can't make out the shapes

Difficulty distinguishing past and present, struggling with clarity.

This is insane and I'm still searching for what matters

Expressing frustration and confusion in the search for meaning.

And I'm not sure if I'll find it but I hope I do someday

Hopeful yet uncertain about finding what matters in life.

There was a time when I wouldn't admit my mistakes

Acknowledging a past reluctance to admit mistakes.

But not today

But today, admitting mistakes and taking responsibility.

Today I'm easy

Feeling at ease and comfortable with oneself.

And it's good you got me

Grateful for being in a positive situation.

Right where you want me

Content with the current state and accepting one's position.

Was there a time when life was ever easy?

Reflecting on the past, questioning if life was ever easy.

Or maybe that was just a story that they told to appease me

Skepticism about stories told to console or deceive.

But lesson learning comes a little harder to me than to most

Admitting difficulty in learning life lessons compared to others.

And if you need the proof

Offering personal experience as proof, citing a paranormal encounter.

I'll point you to the time I swear I saw a ghost

Recognizing the past but emphasizing the present ("now").

That was the past and I'm pretty sure this is now - now!

Expressing excitement and motivation to make the most of every day.

And holy cow let's go, let's make the most of

Encouraging positive actions and continuous improvement.

Every day we have to learn a better way to be

Learning from past mistakes and growing beyond them.

And that the past mistakes we've made

Rejecting the notion that past mistakes define one completely.

They don't define us completely

Recalling a time when escape seemed preferable.

Those were the days when I'd rather be running away

Doubtful about personal knowledge and understanding.

I'm not sure I know anything like I thought I knew before

Feeling a disconnect with past perceptions of oneself.

I thought I understood myself and I always wanted more

Embracing ease and contentment in the present moment.

But not today

Similar to lines 10 and 27; expressing a current state of ease.

Today I'm easy

Reiterating a sense of ease and contentment in the present.

And it's good you got me

Gratitude for being in a positive and desirable situation.

Right where you want me

Acceptance of one's current position and state of being.

And that's okay

Expressing contentment and acceptance of the present moment.

Today I'm easy

Reiteration of the ease and comfort felt in the current state.

And it's good you got me

Acknowledging and appreciating being in a positive state.

Right where you want me

Accepting and being content with the current circumstances.

Let's go!!

An enthusiastic call to action, possibly indicating a positive outlook on the future.
