Time changes things - KMurdock Music Group
There you are
Just as awesome as I remember
How's the family?
Guess y'all doing fine
We used to be solid
Tight like a tether
But now we're pulled apart
By something I can't define
The world keeps spinning
No pause for reflection
And somehow we both got lost
In different directions
Funny how life just scatters like seeds
Grows weeds in directions we don't always need
One day we're talking
Like nothing's ever changed
The next we're strangers
Caught in this whole life thing
I scroll through old photos like I'm looking for proof
That we were really that close, not just wasting our youth
But the evidence is there, man, the smiles don't lie
We just got busy living and forgot to say goodbye
And I can't point a finger at who let it slip
We just stopped reaching out
Now the signal don't hit
Time's really got a way
Of running too fast
You'll go out your mind
If you think about it long
Ain't no way to make it last
The people we once were
And the ones we've become
Never end up the same
Not for anyone
Remember back when we never thought about aging
Had futures in our heads we couldn't quite gauge then
Those plans turned into chapters we wrote way too soon
Flipping through fictional pages
Wondering what happened in June and July
And the rest of the years we spent running
After something we convinced ourselves was coming
Time messes with you and you don't even notice
Which of your worst days and which years were golden
It's crazy thinking about stuff we have no control of
You always think you'll have it figured out by the time you're older
But the ink keeps drying, there's no way to rewrite it
The things you didn't try and the conversations you kept quiet
I thought I'd feel different by now, more put together
Instead I'm still ducking the same doubts
They just got better at finding me
Time's really got a way
Of running too fast
You'll go out your mind
If you think about it long
Ain't no way to make it last
The people we once were
And the ones we've become
Never end up the same
Not for anyone
I wonder if you think about me when you're stuck in traffic
Or if my name just blends in with the rest of the static
We used to finish each other's sentences, no hesitation
Now I don't even know your area code or your situation
And that's not shade, that's just how the math works out
People subtract themselves, you don't always know what it's about
I'm not holding grudges, I'm just holding questions
Like why we let the easy stuff become the hard lessons
We made promises back then like they cost us nothing
Didn't know the price would spike when life started adjusting
So if you ever catch this playing on some random station
Just know the love's still there, minus the expectation
And whoever you turned into since we last connected
I hope it's someone you actually wanted, not just what life selected
It's not good or bad, it's just the way it happens
Life hits you with combinations you can't even imagine
You make your choices, learn the lessons they bring
Do it over again like you didn't learn a thing
Yeah, that's the part nobody mentions
When you're young and you're hungry
Some people leave your life in quiet
Not angry, not ugly, they just stop texting back
And you stop noticing when
And by the time you do notice
You forgot how to begin
Yeah, time's really got a way
Of running too fast
You'll go out your mind
If you think about it long
Ain't no way to make it last
The people we once were
And the ones we've become
Never end up the same
Not for anyone
So here's to the past and all the things we thought we knew
And here's to the roads we're still stumbling through
Here's to the versions of us that only we remember
Here's to you wherever you've landed
