Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (soft, almost spoken)
I think about it more now…
Now that I’m older
Things make sense in a different way

⸻

Verse 1 (gentle, reflective singing)
Back then I didn’t see it clear
Didn’t think about the years
Thought there’d always be more time
Didn’t know what I had inside

I was living in the moment
Never thinking it would end
Now I look back at it all
Wishing I could go again

Didn’t realise what it meant
Didn’t see where it would go
Now I’m sitting with these thoughts
That I didn’t even know

⸻

Pre-Chorus (light, emotional)
It’s not regret…
It’s just perspective
Things I didn’t understand back then
I finally get it

⸻

Chorus (simple, honest — extended)
I’m older now…
And I see it different
All the things I didn’t do
All the words I should’ve given

I’m older now…
And I feel it deeper
Time don’t wait for no one
And I wish I knew that sooner

I’m older now…
And it all feels clearer
Everything I took for granted
Now I wish I was nearer

⸻

Verse 2 (more personal, deeper)
There’s so much I’d do again
If I could go back then
Take my time, be more present
Not just rush through everything

I’d say more, I’d show more
I wouldn’t hold it in
Now I carry all these thoughts
Of what could’ve been

All the little things I missed
Didn’t think they’d mean this much
Now I’d give it all again
Just to feel that once

⸻

Bridge (soft, emotional truth — stretched)
You don’t realise it when you’re in it…
You think it’s always gonna stay…
But life just keeps on moving…
And it don’t wait…

You don’t see it in the moment…
You only see it when it’s gone…
Now I’m left here understanding…
What I had all along…

⸻

Chorus (stronger, emotional)
I’m older now…
And I see it different
All the things I didn’t do
All the words I should’ve given

I’m older now…
And I feel it deeper
Time don’t wait for no one
And I wish I knew that sooner

⸻

Outro (soft, reflective, extended)
I can’t go back…
No matter how much I think about it

But I understand it now…
And maybe that’s something
