Now//Then (wip)

[Pluckdd Guitar Intro][Gentle] I’m exhausted I’m tattered Carrying pieces of younger me before life shattered Sometimes I look back Wish I could have ah little more slack If I could ooooh if I could I’d go back and hold that boy like nobody ever would I’d warn him of what’s coming Tell him of love, of pain, of the man he’s becoming Ebs and flows, comes and goes Feelings deep nobody knows… Oh oh oh [Pre Chorus] I can hear it now I can see that smile I’d watch without interruption Let him live in abundance Spare the corruption… [Chorus] Oooooh every now and then I think about the younger me Would he be happy to see The man we had to be Oh what it cost me Oh what it cost me Oooooh every now and then I wonder who I might’ve been If I could go back before we let somebody in Oh what it cost me Oh what it costs us [Verse 2] I’m a father now, I’m so proud I’m just scared I’ll let em down Hiding bits and pieces when they’re around So they’ll never feel the burden of my let downs You’ll love them They’ll save you They save you… Youll hate how much of you still needs somebody to save too You’ll watch forever become paperwork Learn that vows can break, it’ll hurt You’ll still want something You’ll still want someone To watch the rising of the sun The settling of the moon You learn to sit alone Instead the wanting fills the room You won’t lose yourself again You won’t let anyone in [Chorus] Oooooh every now and then I think about the younger me Would he be happy to see The man we had to be Oh what it cost me Oh what it cost me Oooooh every now and then I wonder who I might’ve been If I could go back before we let somebody in Oh what it cost me Oh what it costs us [Bridge] If I could sit beside that boy, not sure what I’d say Would it be about love, happiness, heartbreak and pain? Would I just say hi when I pass him? Keep his innocence in tact? Spare him the explain? Every now and then I think of younger me Who he becomes… Who he’ll be… [Final Chorus] Oooooh every now and then (Now and then) I think about the younger me Would he be happy to see (would he?) The man we had to be Oh what it cost me (younger me) Oh what it cost me (younger me) Oooooh every now and then I wonder who I might’ve been If I could go back before we let somebody in Oh what it cost me Oh what it costs us It’s gonna cost us Oh buddy it’ll cost us Every now and then…
