Ahem.
[Verse 1]
Midnight drive with my late night thoughts,
Caught in that cycle again.
Shoulders heavy with a worry I can’t ease,
My head is stuck in a time back when…
When I was,
Young and dumb,
Smokin with friends,
Same people I aint heard from in years.
Blendin in crowds,
Makin memories,
Same memories I hold onto.
Oh, but…
[Chorus]
Where did the time go?
Who the hell did I become?
I don’t recognize,
These old ties,
That Im tryna keep alive.
Oh, Im,
Way too old for that old way,
But im way too young for me to say,
That Im tired of today,
Oh I wanna be,
In the memory,
Of yesterday.
Oh.
Oh-oh.
Woah-oh-oh-oh- woah.
Hey.
[Verse 2]
Im way too hard on myself,
Sometimes I sit in my doubt,
Of what I can and can’t do,
But I decide what is true.
Oh,
Im trying my best,
But I crave a bit of rest,
I’ve got a lot on my chest,
Try not to leave things a mess,
But I still act young and dumb,
And I’m still selfish at times,
I can be mean and rough,
Say such terrible stuff,
I don’t wanna be my blood,
Don’t wanna be my genes,
Dont wanna be that guy,
Don’t wanna be the reason why,
That I’m not happy with my life,
I thank God for all he’s done,
Im tryna live by His word,
He has blessed me everyday,
Every prayer he has heard.
Oh.
Oh-oh.
Woah-oh-oh-oh- woah.
But still,
I say….
Oh!
[Chorus]
Where did the time go?
Who the hell did I become?
I don’t recognize,
These old ties,
That Im tryna keep alive.
Oh, Im,
Way too old for that old way,
But im way too young for me to say,
That Im tired of today,
Oh I wanna be,
In the memory,
Of yesterday.
Oh.
Oh-oh.
Woah-oh-oh-oh- woah.
[bridge]
Im more than my past.
I am not a ghost of who I was.
Im just a man.
Im doing the best I can.
Oh.
Im more than my past.
I am not a ghost of who I was.
Im just a man.
Im doing the best I can.
Ohhhhhh- woah!
[Chorus final]
But where did the time go?
Who the hell did I become?
I don’t recognize,
These old ties,
That Im tryna keep alive.
Oh, Im,
Way too old for that old way,
But im way too young for me to say,
That Im tired of today,
Oh I wanna be,
In the memory,
Of yesterday.
Oh.
Oh-oh.
Woah-oh-oh-oh- woah.
[Outro]
Im more than my past.
I am not a ghost of who I was.
Im just a man.
Im doing the best I can.
Oh.
Oh-oh.
Woah-oh-oh-oh- woah.
