Meaning There Before

from Frost Years by Sean Key

/

lyrics

I saw your photograph when I was just fifteen
When my world was a different shade of green
In your pallor I saw promise and potential
The way our stars aligned was not so consequential

There was a meaning there before
But what once was is now no more
Adopting narratives
So that I could say I was just a kid and it didn't matter anyway

Having thought it through I would have done it different
I thought myself so smart but my heart was illiterate
I wouldn't change it though as it brought me to this
Can you imagine that was really my first kiss?

There was a meaning there before
But what once was is now no more
Adopting narratives
So that I could say I was just a kid and it didn't matter anyway

I don't think about it
I used to drink about it
I was younger than the lines beneath your eyes
Spent so long sinking in tears
I got through the frost years
Now I choose to smile instead of
Cry

Would you laugh at me if I told you I miss you?
Or would you cry and I could offer you a tissue?
Maybe then, as friends, we'd stumble to our fates
Replacing bitterness with something less than hate

There was a meaning there before
But what once was is now no more
Adopting narratives
So that you can say you were just a kid and I didn't matter anyway

There was a meaning there before
But what once was is now no more
Adopting narratives
So that we can say we were just kids and it didn't matter anyway
