Before we had cells phones
And before they had internet
I can still smell my home
And feel my feet in the riverbed
I was flipping every stone
And I didn't mind a little sweat
I was never all alone
And I never had to fret
I remember summer nights chasing fireflies
When every yesterday felt like a prior life
When I used to look up just to admire skies
And see my mom tuck me in through my tired eyes
Every day I was playing with my friends
I had all day just to dream and pretend
It felt like fun would never end
But those days they came and they went
It's sad to see how things change
I was always looking downrange
I wanted to be grown
To live on my own
If only I had known what it meant to get there
Could have seen my parents getting grey hairs
And seen all the tears and the blank stares
And seen my loved ones in wheelchairs
I would have realized life is unfair
Would I still want to get here
Knowing every moment that the end is near
For someone that I love
If I had known life was rough
I might have been younger when I started to puff
I try to stay tough but that's getting hard to bluff
And lately, I've been feeling like I've had enough
I just take some time and think bout this stuff
And about the times
Before we had cells phones
And before they had internet
I can still smell my home
And feel my feet in the riverbed
I was flipping every stone
And I didn't mind a little sweat
I was never all alone
And I never had to fret
I remember summer nights chasing fireflies
When every yesterday felt like a prior life
When I used to look up just to admire skies
And see my mom tuck me in through my tired eyes
Every day I was playing with my friends
I had all day just to dream and pretend
It felt like fun would never end
But those days they came and they went
I remember when life felt pure
When my mom's love was the cure
Her and my dad always made me feel secure
But nowadays I'm just feeling so unsure
Like my only friends are covered in fur
I've seen them come and go and it always hurts
Life's a blessing, death's the curse
If that's true then whys it feel reversed?
At my grandfathers funeral holding back tears
I wish I reached out more while he was here
I wish I let him know how much his love was worth
How he changed my life with his actions and his words
He worked hard still put family first
I'm glad he never had to see me in a hearse
Life hurts but his sadness would be way worse
I just wish he was here to hear this verse
