Story behind the song

Looking back at the mistakes of youth regarding friendships and relationships.

Lyrics

Young at heart and full of life
Filled with hope but little insight
We made our pact and walked our mile
Heartened by a friendly smile
A difference here, a sadness there
Should have been so easy to bear
What more could we expect
On these things I now reflect

And looking back on those days of youth
With this knowledge of the somber truth
If only I'd lived in that time
With greater clarity of mind

We parted ways with feelings changed
So many things left unexplained
Our synergy melted away
With little learned and nothing gained
I wonder what could have been
If we'd followed through on our dream
Or even if we parted friends
With lessons learned from good amends

And looking back on those days of youth
With this knowledge of the somber truth
If only we'd lived in that time
With greater clarity of mind...
