I've got an old friend

Getting married this weekend

It does not seem like I'll be there.

But I've been tracing

Tryin' to remember

Some of the things we used to care about

When ya gonna save a corner

of a place I haven't seen?

When ya gonna have me over?

Like the way things used to be

The way things used to be

The way things used to be

I don't want it all back,

I don't mind where I'm at

I've been trying to stand tall.

But I've been placing

So much of my mind's eyes

Just trying to see over these walls.

I put in front of me

When ya gonna answer a phone call?

I'll say I'm on your street

I think we used to laugh Into the morning

The way things used to be

The way things used to be

The way things used to be

Most of the time when it fades away

-> -> ->

I don't really mind reshaping clay

I wasn't always such a sucker

It's the sentimental me

Maybe I'm blowing my cover

But what I wanna see

Is the way things used to be

between you and me.

The way things used to be.
