27 For Old Times' Sake

The lights come on and the stage is set.

I leave you behind to go do my best.

You know where to stay and wait on me-

Somehow that's how we had turned out to be. - YC

We learnt our trade and which voice to trust

Through conversations we had had with just us.

You and I- we were young, we believed.

We immersed our futures in the songs that we weaved. -CJ

But your footfalls then came from somewhere new

And I hid that my voice was still searching for you. -YC

We'll sit together again, for old times' sake,

And watch the now we had sung of then.

In those times you didn't notice these eyes on you

And in those times when I had forgotten to look-

Unadmitting, we had missed each other

And we still knew why our hearts ached.

So, take my hand now when I take yours,

We are both heading to the same place.

The voices were loud and I had come a long way

But to whom do I tell my stories at the end of the day?

There seemed to have been someone, waiting…

Ah, I'm proud of me and this world I'm creating. -YC

We struggle in our own unspoken ways.

We scream, we dance. Our hard work pays.

We'll be fine. Oh. We'll be fine.

We have this treasure chest full of our time. -CJ

I slow my feet to a pause and breathe.

Is that your voice I hear calling me? -YC

We'll sit together again, for old times' sake,

And watch the now we had sung of then.

In those times you didn't notice these eyes on you

And in those times when I had forgotten to look-

Unadmitting, we had missed each other

And we still knew why our hearts ached.

So, take my hand now when I take yours,

We are both heading to the same place.

Ah ah

Ah ah

Ah ah -CJ

Take my hand. -YC

Ah ah

Oh ah ah

Ah ah -CJ

Let's meet again. -YC

Now that we're here, I don't know what to say

Or where to begin in all I want to tell you. -YC

I have been waiting for a day like today

That finally allows me to come home to you. -CJ

We'll sit together again, for old times' sake,

And look back on all the songs that made us.

In these times, going forth, you'll notice me

And I will forever continue to watch you.

Now, you and I, we stand here as one-

Finding strength in everything we know we have.

So, take my hand now when I take yours,

We are both still heading to the same place.
