I looked back on my life today
I reread all the things I said
I found the messages clear as day
In all the words I've read
It's clear as day
What was the past was like
When I knew it so well
And just like night
It fades away
To a new kind of light
I said to all the times before
I didn't know
What it all would come down to
I said to all the times before
That I loved it
When I thought I had known
When I had known
I checked back the messages
That my ancestors left for me
I read all the history books
That I had already seen
And it only came around
To the things I'd written down
When I knew what they were, yeah
And I only thought I had found
The things I'd been looking for
When I didn't know where I'd been looking
I said to all the times before
I didn't know
What it all would come down to
I said to all the times before
I loved it
When I thought that I had known
When I had known
And tomorrow's another day
For me to just forget the past
And it's all been thrown away
In the scrapbooks somewhat fast
And I don't know where I'd looked
For the answers for this test
Because I'd been looking
Solely in the past, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said to all the times before
I didn't know
What it all would come down to
I said to all the times before
I loved it
When I thought that I had known
When I had known
I said to all the times before
I did not know
What it all would come down to
I said to all the times before
That I loved it
When I thought that I had known
When I had known
When I had known
When I had known
When I had known
