Theres a time the system goes down
A momentary twist of fate
Your once proactive plans deteriorate
A poor assumtion leaves you weak
A break in your Achellis heal
Just when you think your life is so ideal
And in a blink its gone to black
Your a captain on a sinking ship
Treasure slipping as you lose your grip
Backing up through the years
Thats the only I had my back turned to what mattered the most
But how could I have known that backing up through the years
Would show me every recollection of connection for me
A copy cant replace whats real
The silly things we make beleived
And all the milestones we acheived
And now the food is left alone
Its kinda funny in a certain way
To watch forgotten memories on replay
Backing up through the years
Thats the only times that I went back and forth between it all
I wish I had been present back then when it was clear
I only wanna save a semblance of remembrance for me
Maybe with a little loss we'll make more space
Livin in the moment will retrace
The steps we took and lost and found
Backing up through the years
Now all your gonna find me back in time for it all
Wont miss another moment
Backing you through the years
I wish that you could see the livin you've given to me
I wont live life backing up
