Verse 1 I feel like I’m missing pages Like somebody skipped my youth Watching strangers live the moments I was sure I’d live too Every road I should’ve taken Haunts me when the night’s gone still I’m collecting all the “maybes” Like they could ever be real Pre-Chorus I keep driving through old neighborhoods Looking for a ghost not there Wondering where I lost myself Or if I was ever anywhere Chorus I miss the life that never really left me It’s just buried underneath who I’ve become Counting every little choice like it could save me Trying to outrun what I’ve already done I keep wishing for my old life back Wondering where I went so wrong If I could turn these years to photographs I’d learn the words before they’re gone Verse 2 Everybody says I’m growing But growing only feels like loss Trading dreams for empty mornings Paying every hidden cost Maybe home’s a feeling, not a place Maybe time’s the thief I couldn’t stop Maybe I just miss the girl I was Before I learned what breaking was Bridge If tomorrow finally finds me Tell yesterday to let me go I’ve been living in the echoes Of a heart I used to know Final Chorus I miss the life that I imagined When the future still felt close enough to touch Maybe I didn’t ruin everything Maybe I just wanted too much Still I’m staring through the rearview Waiting for the light to come back on Hoping somewhere in the distance The girl I was is singing along.
