The Same Predicament
Not sure if it’s the age thing
Or this sentimental nostalgia
When I keep forgetting certain periods of time
Even though the good outweighs the bad
All of it seems to be covered
By a dark shroud
And along comes Lauryn
I want to hit pause for a second but I listen carefully
Yes
The same predicament
Resurfacing things I’d forgotten
In hindsight
I’m not sure why I did what I did
I thought if I stuck to my guns I’d be OK
While deep underneath
Something else was brewing
This or that (thing)
Swearing
As long as I wore that ring
Around my finger
Nothing
Would hurt me
I guess at twenty-four or so
I still had a lot to learn
