Lyrics
I can't imagine that
I'd ever run it back
I barely got it made
I can't fathom today
I can't imagine that
I'd ever run it back
I barely got it made
I can't fathom today
I can't fathom today
I used to move with impunity knowledge
Nothin' could hurt me back in community college
Stayed in a groove even when failin' my classes
Grindin' shifts at work, though it's kickin' my asses
Learned to stop bein' afraid of my own rizz
Learned to speak up and when to just let it live
Learned to parlay an open into a check mate
Learned to chill out even when ships wrecked mate
Very darin' to learn that not every pairin' lasts
To stop starin' backwards and leave it in past
To be there in the moment, and present when it matters
Real trauma's what happens when ya less than a batter
Better swing and miss, than never swung at all
At the same age today can't imagine I'd call
A generation with decks stacked against them
Can't fault them, they face a higher fence, damn
I can't imagine that
I'd ever run it back
I barely got it made
I can't fathom today
I can't imagine that
I'd ever run it back
I barely got it made
I can't fathom today
I can't fathom today
I know I'm weak can't imagine I'd do what they did
I was barely built for the way I chose to live
These days I don't know if I'd even have choices
Never been that great at using proper voices
Couldn't speak up, it took a lotta social exposure
A lot highs and lows, with absence of closure
But what if I stayed inside makin no beginnins
Sure I might not die, but is that life livin
Low barrier to entry just mean there's no protections
No guard or sentry, just facin' a century's rejections
Complexity's also makin' a path for good connections
Deeper self-reflection and carvin' new directions
Could I have grown up without chillin' out at conventions
Without Anime Kingdoms, and bowlin in Renton
Would it all be illusions without Illuzionz
Without 2 A.M. at Denny's, do I stay losin
I can't imagine that
I'd ever run it back
I barely got it made
I can't fathom today
I can't imagine that
I'd ever run it back
I barely got it made
I can't fathom today
I can't fathom today
