its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Ain't thinking â??bout love today
Lost in the sunlight
Walking down memory lane
Ain't thinking â??bout you today
People from the past that I knew
Are slowly slipping away
Seems so long ago
Since we were carefree
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic
That's me
That's me
Thoughts running round my head today
Times from the past popping up where they're from I don't know
Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I've realized what life's meant to be
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic
That's me
That's me
Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I've realized what life's meant to be
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic
That's me
That's me
It's all I'll ever be
It's all I'll ever be
Cause that's me
It's all I'll ever be
Cause that's me
Lost in the sunlight
Walking down memory lane
Ain't thinking â??bout you today
People from the past that I knew
Are slowly slipping away
Seems so long ago
Since we were carefree
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic
That's me
That's me
Thoughts running round my head today
Times from the past popping up where they're from I don't know
Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I've realized what life's meant to be
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic
That's me
That's me
Reminiscing my cares away
Wishing I could go back and change the points that were low
Till I've realized what life's meant to be
Photographs lost in time are all I see
A pointless nostalgic
That's me
That's me
It's all I'll ever be
It's all I'll ever be
Cause that's me
It's all I'll ever be
Cause that's me

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I've kind of changed my mind since I wrote about this last...I think he does want to forget the past, but he just really doesn't know how to.

Once it's done, it's been done, and reminiscing about it won't change anything.
