Things I Used to Know

I’ve got something to say
About the morning and the way
It always seem to pass us by
The time we sell today
It withers and it frays
The days have come and gone away
In retrospect we knew
Exactly what to do
But we chose to turn away
We fell into the crowd
When expectations got too loud
Does it even matter now?
I may not know
Which direction I should go
But I’ve wasted too much time thinking
That this is my home
I’m letting go
Of the things I used to know
I’m finding a new life so I can make it my own
We’ve been waiting for a flood
To drown the life we had
So we could find the road we had ignored
The rain has washed away
The thoughts of yesterday
It’s time to find our way back to shore
The time we sell today
It withers and it frays
The days have come and gone away
