Lyrics

Caught once again looking at old photographs of you
They say that time passes
Yes, they certainly do
But it’s hard when you are like me
to justify how you feel
About what was and what will be
Since all times are equally real

The future is just a place
Separated from here
The past was not erased
On that, history is clear
And though I live like this
You wonder how
You can’t imagine what it’s like
To not live in the now

Spending my days in anticipation
Of tomorrow’s nostalgic contemplation
These moments in my memories
So vivid and pure
What they present is perfectly real
Of this I am sure

The future is just a place
Separated from here
The past was not erased
On that, history is clear
And though I live like this
You wonder how
You can’t imagine what it’s like
To not live in the now

You can’t imagine what it’s like
You can’t imagine what it’s like
You can’t imagine what it’s like
To not live in the now
