[Verse 1]
Looking back is not the same as looking forward
You can’t see what it is you’re heading toward
All that’s visible is what’s left behind
The dreams distilled and the dreams discarded
What made you leap or left you empty-hearted
In the moment and in the fullness of time
[Chorus]
Now you see what it is that you would have changed
If only you’d known
Where you’d be and to be here is very strange
Waking up alone
In the middle ages
[Verse 2]
All along you paid close attention
To the answers when a voice asked the question
How’d you get here? Where do you belong?
Seventeen makes us brave and so full of nerve
Thirty-five makes us pause but we’re undeterred
Never say die and so we push on
[Chorus]
And some come to a place of reckoning
Try to fix what they find
I arrived with the questions still beckoning
In the back of my mind
To the middle ages
Looking back is not the same as looking forward
You can’t see what it is you’re heading toward
All that’s visible is what’s left behind
The dreams distilled and the dreams discarded
What made you leap or left you empty-hearted
In the moment and in the fullness of time
[Chorus]
Now you see what it is that you would have changed
If only you’d known
Where you’d be and to be here is very strange
Waking up alone
In the middle ages
[Verse 2]
All along you paid close attention
To the answers when a voice asked the question
How’d you get here? Where do you belong?
Seventeen makes us brave and so full of nerve
Thirty-five makes us pause but we’re undeterred
Never say die and so we push on
[Chorus]
And some come to a place of reckoning
Try to fix what they find
I arrived with the questions still beckoning
In the back of my mind
To the middle ages
