Lyrics
Let's go back to 22, this feels like a bad dream
Reflecting on a time at age 22 that feels like a distressing experience
Waking up to pillow talking
Starting the day with intimate conversation in bed
Raw emotion
Expressing genuine and unfiltered feelings
I wish that things could be better
Desiring an improvement in circumstances
Worked out a different way
Attempted to resolve issues in a different manner
But that's alright
Accepting the current situation despite difficulties
'Cause these long drives slip into these long nights
Long car rides transition into prolonged nights
And I'm miles away
Physically distant from someone or something
So far away
Emphasizing the significant distance felt
Running for my life
Escaping from a challenging situation in an attempt to survive
Falling backwards under water
Feeling overwhelmed and going backward, submerged in difficulties
Running for my life
Continuing to flee from troubles
You're just somebody that I used to love
Recalling someone who was once loved but is now distant
I'm just a shadow of the man I was
Feeling like a diminished version of oneself due to circumstances
Flashback to the day we met when you said you loved me
Revisiting the moment of falling in love and hearing affectionate words
We can't quite seem to fill the space between our broken hearts
Struggling to mend the emotional gap between two hurt hearts
I wish that things could be better
Wishing for an improvement in the situation
Worked out a different way
Having attempted a different approach to solve problems
But that's alright
Accepting the outcome, regardless of the difficulties faced
Running for my life
Continuing to escape from hardships to survive
Falling backwards under water
Feeling overwhelmed and submerged, moving backward
Running for my life
Continuing the attempt to escape from troubles
You're just somebody that I used to love
Remembering someone who used to be loved but is now distant
I'm just a shadow of the man I was
Feeling like a diminished version of oneself due to circumstances
'Cause these long drives slip into these long nights
Long periods of driving leading into extended, lonely nights
And I'm miles away
Physically distant from someone or something
So far away
Emphasizing the significant distance felt
