Now Everything Does
(Lou & Peter Berryman, ©2011)
 

There's no point in living in the past they say
Even though there is more of it every day
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 sayin' I'm overwhelmed with future shock
I'm not sayin' I wish I could reset the clock
I doubt I would go back one year 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 then, now everything does
   
I'm not sayin' that anything has changed you know
It's the same old same old only more so though
And I'm not sayin' that I'm too old to give a damn
Then again on second thought, I usually 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
