The Way Things Used To Be - Badly Drawn Boy

The way things used to be, well not anymore

Close your eyes, open up your door

Well I’m not tired, I’m coming alive

But you 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

But people there don’t look like us at all

Don’t need reminding of

The way things used to be

I rise you to the top

Then we walk back down again

Look to the future now

Where you’re going, where you’ve been

The universe is smaller than you think

So many years spent blind and then you blink

I promise you we ??

to 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
