Now and Then
Nicholas Wells Lyrics

Did you know you own a piece of me
You possess a significant influence over me.

I being built on years of memories
My identity and existence are constructed upon the experiences and recollections I have accumulated over time.

So many little things that I forgot
Numerous minor details that slipped my mind.

Thought they were lost but they not
Though I believed they were irretrievably lost, they actually still exist.

What I′m missing you've got inside
The qualities or aspects I lack, you possess within you.

All the story of two kids who try
The narrative of our endeavors as young individuals attempting to accomplish something.

And while we feel alone with different air
Although we may feel isolated and surrounded by different circumstances.

You′ve always have me there
You have consistently had my presence and support.

But it's funny how times flies by
It is remarkable how swiftly time passes.

Taking you low and high
Causing both moments of despair and moments of elation.

Everything I recall you remember it all
Every memory I recollect, you possess an equal recollection of it.

It's something will always share
It is a connection or bond that will persist between us.

Whether it′s wrong or fair
Regardless of whether it is unjust or equitable.

Hoping when the skies turns to black my heart will take me back
Desiring that in times of darkness or adversity, my emotions will guide me back to a place of comfort or familiarity.

We look older but we still the same
Although we appear more mature, our core essence remains unchanged.

I have always wondered who of us was to blame
I have frequently pondered which one of us is responsible for the situation or conflict.

Wish I could ask but I don′t know how
I desire to inquire, but I am uncertain about the appropriate approach.

It wouldn't help us now
Such inquiry would not provide any assistance or resolution to our present circumstances.

Hmmm.
An expression of contemplation or thoughtfulness.

It's just the ease of count that′s taken me by surprise
I am surprised by how effortlessly time seems to pass.

I never noticed but it happened before my eyes
I was unaware, but it occurred right in front of me.

Though the plans I'm making are changing so fast
Despite the rapid alterations happening to my intended course of action.

I'm walking stronger cause I carry the weight of the past
I am becoming more resilient and determined because I shoulder the burdensome memories and experiences of the past.
