lyrics

Stepping into the sunlight
In the morning dew
Something feels different
It’s now coming into view

With every passing season
Like a seed it grows
I find another reason
Why I had to let you go
Just reflections of a past

In retrospect we gave it all we had
In retrospect it was more than enough
But as we grew we lost touch of what we knew
In retrospect we had it all

If future memory could warn us
Of what’s to come
I wouldn’t trade a moment
Of what’s been done

It’s all the small reminders
On my morning drive
Our story has been written
The book of you and I
Just reflections of our past

In retrospect we gave it all we had
In retrospect it was more than enough
But as we grew we lost touch of what we knew
In retrospect

In retrospect we gave it all we had
In retrospect it was more than enough
But as we grew we lost touch with what we knew
In retrospect we had it all

Stuck in the past
Stuck in the past
Stuck in the past
Stuck in the past
I'm always stuck in the past

Ari Herstand Los Angeles, California

Ari Herstand’s most recent offering, Like Home, explores the idea of what home means. And where to find it when the concept has been shattered. In a period when so many have been confined to their homes, this is an exploration that couldn’t be more worthy of the times. ... more
