Where Are You Now?
Micah Cheatham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What started as a kiss turned in the falling in love you
And I were both at 18 together we were
Thinking this love would burn on forever
Things change and I understand that live had a different plan
Where are you now
Would it feel the same this time around because I still think of you
The way we used to be
Or am I just living off of memory
Where are you now
Because I still think of you
I'm stuck between reality and my dreams
I'm old enough now to know things aren't what they seem
I know the heart plays tricks on the mind
But maybe it's just my heart on rewind things change
And I understand that life had a different plan
Where are you now
Would it feel the same this time around because I still think of you
Do you still think of me
The way we used to be
Or am I just living off of memory
Where are you now
Because I still think of you
Micah Cheatham's song "Where Are You Now?" is a nostalgic reflection on a youthful romance that has since faded away. The opening lyrics, "It was one of those nights in the back of my truck / What started as a kiss turned into falling in love," sets the tone for a story about a passionate and intense young love affair. The singer describes their relationship as being full of promise, having started when they were both 18, and both believing that their love would endure forever. However, the reality of life intervened, and the couple's dreams gave way to change and acceptance of a different plan. The lyrics express regret and longing for the past, as the singer wonders if his former flame also remembers the love they shared and if it would feel the same if they were to reunite now.
The song's second stanza conveys a sense of ambivalence that is common when reflecting on past relationships. The singer is "stuck between reality and my dreams" and acknowledges that "things aren't what they seem." He recognizes that the heart can play tricks on the mind, but still holds on to the hope that his former lover remembers him in the same way that he remembers her. The lyrics are honest and relatable, capturing a common experience of feeling torn between the present and the past.

Just today I found and reconnected with someone that might have been. A friend set me up with him and ended up with him herself. I’ve always wondered what happened with them, and now I know. 😏 This song hits so many chords; it’s beautiful!! ❤️
