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
