Its like flipping through a photo box
I didnt know I saved
Tiny moments from another life
That time could never fade
Back when everything felt endless
Back before the weight Ive known
Now every snapshot hits me harder
Than it ever did when I was grown
Funny how the smallest days
Come back louder when they are gone
I wish there was a way to know
you are in the good old days right then
Before the world sped up too fast
and I lost track of who Ive been
If I could hold a moment still
Id keep it close and never let go
But you only learn they are golden
when the past says I told you so
Life felt lighter in the corners
I didnt realize were gold
Before the nights got heavy
and the quiet turned me cold
I miss the kid who didnt question
every heartbeat every breath
The one who dreamed without the fear
of losing everything he kept
Looking back feels like a warning
from a version I outgrew
I wish there was a way to know
you are in the good old days right then
Before the world sped up too fast
and I lost track of who Ive been
If I could hold a moment still
Id keep it close and never let go
But you only learn they are golden
when the past says I told you so
All these years Ive walked through fire
Built from breaks that never healed
But those soft days still surround me
in the spaces life concealed
I never knew what I was losing
till I felt the silence hit
Now I carry every memory
like Im built from all of it
I wish there was a way to know
you are in the good old days right then
Before the faces blurred with time
before goodbye became routine
If I could hold a moment still
Id keep it close and never let go
But life moves on without a warning
and nostalgia fills the hollow

Its like flipping through a photo box
you didnt know you missed
until the day you need it
