There’s no point in living in the past, they say
Even though there is more of it everyday
I don’t talk too much about what I’ve been through
Then again, on second thought, I probably do
   Love confused me way back when
   Now everything does
   Swimming made me hungry then
   Now everything does
   I remember moonlight bay the way it was
   Used to take my breath away
   Now everything does
I’m not saying I’m overwhelmed with future shock
I’m not saying I wish I could reset the clock
I doubt if I’d go back one year even if I could
Then again, on second thought, I probably would
   Summer used to go too fast
   Now everything does
   Cowboys rode out of the past
   Now everything does
   I recall my first TV the way it was
   It used to look all blurry to me
   Now everything does
I’m not saying that anything has changed, you know
It’s the same old same old, only more so
I’m not saying that I’m too old to give a damn
Then again, on second thought, I probably am
   Flashlights needed batteries
   Now everything does
   Chow mein came from overseas
   Now everything does
   Bowling had a special shoe
   Now everything does
   Most things made me think of you
   Now everything does
 
   Most things made me think of you
   Now everything does
   Now everything does
