End of Innocence
Journey Beyond Youth: Nostalgic Reflections on Time and Change
Lyrics
The time is drawing near
It's time for me to pack my belongings.
For me to pack away my things
I must leave my current life behind.
And leave this life behind
Leave behind everything familiar to me.
And all the things I've known
All the experiences and memories I have.
And all that I've benn taught
Everything I've learned is retained in my memory.
Are only in my memory
These memories define my existence.
And I'm not sure
Uncertainty about the decision to leave.
I want to go
Undecided if departure is the right choice.
Away so soon
Hesitation about leaving too quickly.
The stomping grounds I've known
The familiar places I've known for two decades.
For all these twenty years
The places that hold memories for twenty years.
Are many miles away
These locations are now far away.
Like scabs from falls at five
Comparing the distance to the scars from childhood falls.
I'm sure they'll fade in my mind
Expectation that these memories will diminish.
I'm scared they'll fade in my mind
Fear that cherished memories will fade.
The seasons change
Reference to the changing seasons and advancing time.
And times move on
Time keeps progressing.
I'll always wish for days like these
Expressing a desire for days like the present.
The seasons change
Reiteration of the changing seasons.
Our times have moved on
Acknowledgment that time has moved forward.
And I'm scared that these
Expressing fear that the current days are the best.
Are my best days
Concern that these are the peak moments.
The seasons change
Reiteration of the changing seasons.
And our time has moved on
Acknowledgment that time has moved forward.
God don't let these be mine
Hope that the current days are not the best.
GO
An urgent plea or command.
