The Way It Was - The Killers

I drove through the desert last night

I carried the weight of our last fight

Don’t be cruel, and I wonder if you feel it too

It’s like we’re going under

Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda county line

The question of my heart came to my mind

If I go on with you by my side

Can it be the way it was?

When we met did you forget about those golden eyes?

Maybe a thief stole your heart

Maybe we just drifted apart

I remember driving in my daddy’s car to the airfield

Blinking on the hood, backs against the windshield

Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust

That paradise is buried in the dust

If I go on with you by my side

Can it be the way it was?

When we met did you forget about those golden eyes?

All of our plans have fallen through

Sometimes a dream don’t come true
