Another road is laid out in front of me
So far I can't see its ending
I guess it's time to pack up
Gather up all my stuff
And form a trail with one step

The old days are gone, let go of the past
Those days, you know, they can never last
I've told this to myself, I don't know how many times
But I can't help it, no, I can't stand it
I can't keep myself from looking back

Another day, another year, another time
Time just passes by
But I continue to retrace my steps
The now is now, future's then but the
Past can't be forgotten
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean?

People say to live in the present and work for the future...but it is too difficult to forget the past.
