Remain the Same
Time's Echo: Nostalgia, Regret, and Enduring Bonds in 'Remain the Same'
Lyrics
We were close when we were younger, to me you were my brother
We had a close relationship in our youth, and you were like a brother to me.
I would chase the sun for you, you'd do anything for me
I was willing to go to great lengths for you, and you would do anything for me.
Time was clever, peered through branches like a stranger from a distance
Time seemed clever, observing from a distance like a stranger through branches.
So we thought we'd live forever, how it hurts just to remember everything
We believed we would live forever, but now it hurts to remember everything.
The years crash down like rain
The passing years feel heavy and abundant like rain.
I grow old and you remain the same
I age, but you remain unchanged.
Remain the same
Remain the same.
We grew older, we were reckless, imagination endless
We grew older, lived recklessly, with endless imagination.
We made a masterpiece of nothing, hung it for the world to see
We created a masterpiece out of nothing and displayed it for the world.
Though I faltered just behind you, I stayed there to remind you
Although I lagged behind, I stayed to remind you how to outrun shadows.
How to outrun every shadow, but you never learned how to let go of anything
You never learned to let go of anything.
The years crash down like rain
Time continues to pass relentlessly like rain.
I grow old and you remain the same
I age, but you remain the same.
Remain the same
Remain the same.
You went off on an adventure, and I stayed where it was safer
You embarked on an adventure, while I chose safety.
Time was constant, no longer stranger, but I was sure I'd see the danger
Time became constant, no longer a stranger, but I anticipated danger.
You had an impulse and you fought it, but then one day you bought it
You resisted an impulse, but eventually succumbed, and it changed everything in a moment.
cnd it only took a moment, one I wish I could forgive
I wish I could forgive that moment.
I can't fill the hole you left with anything but my regret
I can't fill the void you left with anything but regret.
Sometimes I wish we'd never met, but I'm a fool who wouldn't change a single thing
Sometimes, I wish we had never met, but I'm a fool who wouldn't change a thing.
The years crash down like rain
Time continues to pass heavily like rain.
I grow old and you remain the same
I age, but you remain the same.
Remain the same
Remain the same.
