Lirik Past is Catching Up to Me (Jeremy Jordan) | The Great Gatsby on Broadway

It was under a willow tree
Five years ago in Louisville
I danced with Daisy in my arms
And time stood still

It was clear she had her pick
Of any man in uniform
She kissed me
And swore she'd never stray
But then the world got in the way

Fought a war
Returned to see another fight in front me
And now I must remind her
Of the love we left behind
Her words that night
The vows she said back then
I'll help her say again
One party left to throw
How could she say no?

We'll go back
To that kiss
To that row of willow trees
All the years that we missed
Will blow away with the breeze
They say you can't relive the past
But you know what I see?
Finally the past
Is catching up to me

Some will shudder at what I've done
Or say that I have crossed a line
I tell you, every lavish night
Was by design
I'd become the man her world
Demanded me to be
With only a nickel to my name
I bet it all to get in the game

I had a past to rectify
Made that nickel multiply
It took no time to love her
Just to be worthy of her
And though the years have passed us by
One memory survives
If she could see it, too
But see it through my eyes

We'll go back to that kiss
To that row of willow-trees
All the years that we missed
Will blow away with the breeze
They say you can't relive the past
But you know what I see?
Finally, the past is catching up to me

Daisy always saw in me
A man who knew his worth
Now that man can give her everything on earth
Money can't buy happiness
No, sir
But it brings you closer and closer
And closer

Take her back to that kiss
To that row of willow trees
All the years that we missed
Will blow away with the breeze
They say you can't relive the past
But I know what I see
And oh, finally the past
Finally the past
Finally the past (oh ah)
Is catching up to me
