Five Years - Demo

What a time to be twenty three A sign to be young, wild and free But five years ago back at eighteen I'd actually felt the best I ever been I had almost everything figured out There wasn't much to ponder on about Now I question my every thought and action And often I feel like I need validation Not from the ones I'm spending hours around But from the ones who shaped my sound I wonder how everyone's got it figured out But I'm so certain that back then I knew how Such a difference that's unmistakable I've done so much now, even the unthinkable Five years flies by, things change and I break Some say for the worse or better I think what's really happening is that it's neither I'm a "new old me", that's the best of both worlds And nothing will ever get better than this or matter Back then I never cried or fumbled Now every single day there's a stumble That does make me learn lessons for sure But the pain travels from my veins to my brain It's so hard to even see the light But I try my best with all my might Now I question my every thought and action And often I feel like I need validation Not from the ones I'm spending hours around But from the ones who shaped my sound I wonder how everyone's got it figured out But I'm so certain that back then I knew how Such a difference that's unmistakable I've done so much now, even the unthinkable Five years flies by, things change and I break Some say for the worse or better I think what's really happening is that it's neither I'm a "new old me", that's the best of both worlds And nothing will ever get better than this or matter There's so much to fix of this mess But I never feel like I'm less I get up daily and rise to get blessed There's hardly ever any stress Five years flies by, things change and I break Some say for the worse or better I think what's really happening is that it's neither I'm a "new old me", that's the best of both worlds And nothing will ever get better than this or matter Five years flies by, things change and I break Some say for the worse or better I think what's really happening is that it's neither I'm a "new old me", that's the best of both worlds And nothing will ever get better than this or matter
