Well, I'm not the kind to live in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things you lean on
Are the things that don't last
Well, it's just now
And then my line gets cast into these
Time passages.
Certain songs can bring you right back to a specific time and place in your life. This song, "Time Passages", was my senior year in college. It was actually grey, and gloomy, and I remember driving through slush-filled streets in the college town where I was lived, when this song came on the air.
It seemed so appropriate for that point in my life; the pervasive feeling of greyness, gloominess, mixed with a sense of some unknown change on the horizon, while still holding on to an attachment to the past. I was unhappy, but didn't know why. I had no idea that I preparing myself on some level to put the past behind me and move on to a new future, something I feel as if I have continued to do all my life
