Before Lyrics by Ashford

Perennial / Before – Single

2021

[Verse 1]
Remember then when all we’d need
Was each other and the sun?
I wish I realized that would be
The last time I felt freedom
When everything was all ok
We couldn’t ask for nothing
Until our lives led us astray
And into self destruction

[Chorus]
I’m tired of dreaming
About turning back time
I’m sick of leaving
Things I love behind
There’s no returning
To what was before
Now I’m left here yearning
For what is no more

[Verse 2]
When I wake up I feel alone
Where did everybody go?
Though we claim we’re still so close
We couldn’t be farther from home
Is there a reason for this pain?
Can’t we try again for closure?
Is it just fear that things have changed
Or is it really over?

[Chorus]
I’m tired of dreaming
About turning back time
I’m sick of leaving
Things I love behind
There’s no returning
To what was before
Now I’m left here yearning
For what is no more
