Way Back When - Aimee Mann

Well, I guess that this is now the end

Who’d have thought, my old friend

We signed the papers and we capped the pen

But I remember you from way back when

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

Welcome David-what's-his-name-again

Things change, the old cliché

If we knew now what we knew yesterday

Oh, we couldn’t give it away

I was working at a record store

I knew you, you knew the score

Some kind of deal is what we’re looking for

Time came, and disappeared

No one steered and it got weirder

Help was needed, no one volunteered

Things change, you got to wait a bit

What made me think that I could weather it?

You’re down before you even know that

You’ve been hit

And through it all I wondered

Where the bus was taking you

Who knew?

Cause even though my one and one

Was always making two

I never thought that I was breaking you

We were victims of the old taboo

But people change, we changed too

Just make it count before they get to you

Cause things change, baby, hold the phone

They’ll shoot you down like you was Al Capone

Oh, you better go it alone

Well, I guess that this is now the end

Paper signed, forget the pen

Wonder if we’ll ever meet again?
