Lyrics
I can see the line between the times we were five.
I reminisce about the past when we were five years old.
Rocket ships and star fuelled dreams,
Thinking of space exploration and ambitious dreams.
I know they weren’t mine.
Realizing those dreams weren't personally mine.
If I could be stuck floating there,
Desiring to be suspended in a moment of wonder.
I'd fly right through the stratosphere.
Expressing a longing to break through limitations.
But memories they fade and new ones show their spark,
Acknowledging the transient nature of memories.
If you told me at that age I’d believe it all
Reflecting on youthful naivety and gullibility.
I’d believe it all, what you said, all along,
Expressing a willingness to believe everything said in the past.
I won't be the same, it's a shame, about the not world being okay.
Anticipating personal change with regret for a troubled world.
I can't even see, where I stand, on my own,
Feeling lost and uncertain about one's own position.
time to take the blame, for the state that you stole
Taking responsibility for the negative state imposed by someone else.
You wouldn’t know it now, you see me take your hand,
Recalling a past moment of connection and unity.
the feeling was captured.
Capturing a specific emotion or experience.
You were so small back then, your little marching band,
Remembering someone in their small, innocent form.
it’ll be there forever.
Believing that memory will endure forever.
But if that's true, then what can I do, I take it for granted.
Questioning the value of something if taken for granted.
Some people stay the same and others grow a part,
Observing different paths people take in life.
if you told me at that age then I’d believe it.
Reflecting on the impact of advice received in youth.
I’d believe it all, what you said, all along,
Reiterating the willingness to believe past guidance.
I won't be the same, it's a shame, about the world not being okay.
Expressing regret for personal change and a troubled world.
I can't even see, where I stand, on my own,
Feeling disoriented and uncertain about one's position.
time to take the blame, for the state that you stole.
Taking accountability for the negative state imposed by someone else.
