Echoes of the past

[slow piano intro] One minute I’m laying in bed, getting lost in my head Now suddenly I’m falling through my memories Reliving the moments both good and bad I’m in for a long night ahead [verse 1] I see a young me, so happy and carefree I see my granddad, oh I miss him so bad I see my family, before all the pain I see and wish for that life again [chorus] These Echoes of the past, hopes and dreams dashed They fly by so fast Why couldn’t they last (last) (last) (last) (last) [break] [verse 2] Time fly’s ever by, like birds in the sky Once more I see me, but now I’m a teen Awkward and sad, didn’t know what I had I see my old friends, ones I thought wouldn’t end I see my first love, we’re like two turtle doves I see my heart break, how much more can I take I see my smile fade, replaced with a sad shade I see all the things that made me who I am today [powerful chorus] These Echoes of the past, hopes and dreams dashed They fly by so fast Why couldn’t they last [distorted echo] These Echoes of the past, hopes and dreams dashed They fly by so fast Why couldn’t they last (last, last, last, last) [emotional refrain] I land back in my bed, where all of those memories led I stare at the wall, still stuck in my head Echoes of the past, Memories of the dead I close my eyes, I’ll push past the dread And make new memories instead (stead, stead, stead, stead) [piano outro]
