becca stevens - now feels bigger than the past lyrics

what is it about an artist dyin’ that makes the art more palatable?
and those who never gave a listen, now quick to climb on board
and you who never knew the lyrics, say, “oh i’ve always loved this one!”
and you, who never spared a penny, cried and cried like you lost your only friend

what is it about a traitor dying that makes the harm forgivable?
you throw some dirt upon their grave and say
“they did their best i guess. it’s only on me now for stepping in that mess”
and all the pain you waded through though then obliterated you
looks easier now, designed somehow, to put you in the right light
for the sh+t you’re dealing with today
which looks so much bigger than the past

imperfection is beautiful in retrospect
and great big flaws are charming when there’s no one there to correct

what is it about a mother dying that makes the grief insatiable?
as if the time in utero that grew your flesh and built your bones
is tearing out your heart ‘cause it’s rewinding now
unraveling your sense of who you are
and everything you sought from her is needed by your daughter
so you carry her to term and with a little push
she falls out of the nest into the sky
which looks so much bigger than the past

imperfection is beautiful once the hands are gone
and the farther we are from failure, the more we see its charm
now feels bigger than the past…
