Somewhere Between Then and Now 
 
I can’t believe I’ve started my first of lasts 
And in a few short months I’ll be abandoning the nest. 
But I grew up somewhere between then and now. 
 
It seemed like just yesterday my parents would tuck me in at night 
with a goodnight kiss and the flicker of my night light. 
But that was years ago, somewhere between then and now. 
 
What about the four-wheeler rides and quick gas station stops, 
or driving the skid-loader while sitting on dad's lap. 
I guess that was somewhere between then and now. 
 
I remember my first dance recital, looking for my mom in the crowd 
and now I will appear on that stage for one more go-around. 
I wish I could live on that stage a few more times, somewhere between then and now. 
 
Only one more year to laugh and make memories 
With the kids I’ve known my entire life. 
We’ve all become best friends somewhere between then and now. 
 
It never really hit me how fast time was moving, 
until one day I woke up and was suddenly starting senior year. 
But I grew up somewhere between then and now.
