try this: think of high school. (assuming you're graduated. i graduated c/o 02) think of everything you thought you knew. everything you thought you'd turn out to be, every goal you thought you'd reach. every plan you thought would work. look at everyone you hung out with, and some that you might not have known too well. where did you think you'd be in two years? five? ten?
now. how many "truths" weren't so true? and how many plans didn't go quite right?
i've lived twenty lives since high school. but when i think of where i thought i'd be, i'm blown away. when i look back on all my plans, i'm shocked. when i look around at everyone and everything that's changed, it makes me cry.
it took a while to accept this change. it was like, who the hell am i now, and what happened to me?
this song is about reflecting on that, and then being able to face the changes and be happy the way things turned out. despite the mistakes and changes. it's the epiphany that comes after the inability to grasp all the changes.
and it's the instability that comes with knowing that tomorrow you might wake up and not be able to accept things like you can in this perfect moment in time.
