Was It Even Real? - Will Jay

Memories are only echoes

Of a time I didn’t have to gain

If the story’s all I have now

Then why’s it even real?

The moments we lit up

In the sky which golden

Swimming pools with our shoes on

Jumping fences just for fun

And now I wonder

What happened to endless summers

Wouldn’t let the ice cream melt

I’m forgetting how that felt

The future’s coming at me fast

It feels way closer than the past

Looking at myself in photos

Part of me feels like I wasn’t there

If the story’s all I have now

Then was it even real

Memories are only echoes

Of a time I didn’t have to gain

If the story’s all I have now

Then was it even real?

We’re older

And suddenly the party’s over

Is it only half past nine

Already calling it a night

And now it’s scary

Watching all my friends get buried

Haven’t seen them in a year

How the hell did we get here?

The future’s coming at me fast

Young forever never lasts

Looking at myself in photos

Part of me feels like I wasn’t there

If the story’s all I have now

Then was it even real

Memories are only echoes

Of a time I didn’t have to gain

If the story’s all I have now

Then was it even real?

I’m starting to doubt

I’m starting to doubt it

If it’s only me

When you’ll talk about

When you’ll talk about it

Then why’s it even real?

I’m starting to doubt

I’m starting to doubt it

If it’s only me

When you’ll talk about

When you’ll talk about it

Looking at myself in photos

Part of me feels like I wasn’t there

If the story’s all I have now

Then was it even real

Memories are only echoes

Of a time I didn’t have to gain

If the story’s all I have now

Then was it even real?
