You Are Not The Person That You Thought | Song A Day #3960
37Take another peek at who you were
When you had it all figured out
You’re getting older now it’s all blur
You can’t see through the doubt
Which way to go
Every night you go to sleep
24 hrs older
Every seven years you completely
Shed your skin
Over and over again
So all you got are memories
You are not
The person that you thought
You may think that you have proof
Like video evidence
To somehow prove yourself to you
Mount your defense
In the court of you
But the person that you see right there
When your 40 years old or 10
The person that you see right there
Will never come back again
No matter what you do
Your heart beating against your rib cage
Doesn’t belong to you
You’ve gotta give it back some day
When you’re heading to
The place you from
When you’re feeling left behind
Forget what you think you’ve learned
Drowning in daylight savings time
And just waiting for your turn
To finally come

Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 10+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
