The Way It Was Before

Feels like yesterday I was living at my parents’ house I blinked and things changed Fast forward and I was moving out I can only exist in three dimensions at a time Who am I to resist a river flowing left to right It’s like we’ve been dancing in the dark A great big expansion from a spark Over in a moment Finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers Life’s an hourglass Shattered on the floor oh It’ll never be the way it was before No Feels like yesterday I was falling in love Then came the heartbreak Like it always does Nobody escapes it Time’s a losing game Might as well embrace it ‘Till it flies away I know that nobody can stay forever young I wish I could just take a break from growing up It’s like we’ve been dancing in the dark A great big expansion from a spark Over in a moment Finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers Life’s an hourglass Shattered on the floor oh It’ll never be the way it was before The way it was before Over in a moment Finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers Moving way too fast Wish I had just a little more oh It’ll never be the way it was before
