Now and Then

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So young thought we'd never find our way
So old now we finally found our place
Things change now we're wishin we could stay, stay
The years pass by
The memories never die
It's hard but we try
To hold on to goodbyes
Think about the times
When everything seems right
Think of reasons why
Emotions stay inside
So young thought we'd never find our way
So old now we finally found our place
Things change now we're wishin we could stay, stay
Trapped in the past for so long
Feels like an infinite dream
Realize it's time to move on
Each end is not what it seems
Falling into the last cave
Feels like a painful winter
I promise you'll find a way
These days are comin soon
So young thought we'd never find our way
So old now we finally found our place
Things change now we're wishin we could stay, stay
So young thought we'd never find our way




So old now we finally found our place
Things change now we're wishin we could stay, stay
