At the WriteGirl songwriting workshop, singer-songwriter Tiffany Red played a loop she was working on in our breakout room and it inspired a visual in my head.

As You Were Before

Verse

You and me walk down the street
Talk about your tiresome week
New job, new place, new things that you do
And me saying that I’m happy for you

And though it’s true, I’m also scared
That maybe one day I won’t be there
To walk with you through all of the tides
That all the changes will just bring goodbyes

 

Chorus

It’s funny how there are seasons in life
All controlled by when we change our minds
Can I be with you through all of yours?
When you don’t wanna be the same as you were before
Let me be by your side forever more
When you don’t wanna be the same as you were before
