"The Way Things Used To Be" lyrics


The way things used to be
Well not any more
Close your eyes,
Open up your door

Well I'm not tired
I'm coming alive
Put your make-up on,
Let's go out tonight

These things don't matter now
We can leave it all behind
That's all depending on
If you're free to free your mind
The crucifix still hung up by the door
But Jesus doesn't come here anymore
Those memories still hanging on the wall
The people there don't look like us at all
Don't need reminding of
The way things used to be

I'll race you to the top
Then we'll walk back down again
Look to the future now
Where you going,
Where've you been?
The Universe is smaller than you think
So many years spent blind
And then you blink
I promise you an end to the suffering
If you could be my queen
I'll be your king
Don't need reminding of
The way things used to be

Take this chance to rest your tired eyes
Come with me, we'll move to better skies
If where we go, don't make a difference
Just turn around
And we'll come back again
Don't need reminding of
The way things used to be
