I'll Be the Past - Naomi

There must have been a moment

When your heart began to beat

Maybe on a cloudy day

Where one could sense the rain

And someone standing nearby

Might have lifted his head

For a second stood there listening

Never knowing why

Perhaps there was a long line

Of things that got too much

Or some god-given countdown

Just arrived at zero time

Your glasses on the piano

A drawing on the wall

We went swimming on a sunny day

Your ashes in the car

Life is smaller now

And bigger at the same time

Time is endless now

And obsolete, we’re running still

The sky is peaceful now

But scary at the same time

Man, I used to live forever

Now I know it won’t last

I’ll be the past

Life is smaller now

And bigger at the same time

And time is friendly now

But precious as the days run fast

The sky is clearer now

But scary at the same time

Man, I used to live forever

Now I know it won’t last

I’ll be the past

I’ll be the past

I’ll be the past
