The way it used to be lyrics

I'm here

You're there

Come closer

Tonight I'm lonely

Come here

with me

I want it

the way it used to be

What is left of love?

tell me

Who would even care?

So much time has passed

I'd still meet you anywhere

Water under bridge

evening after day

What is left of love here

that didn't drift away?

I can remember days of sun

we knew our lives had just begun

We could do anything

We're fearless when we're young

Under the moon, address unknown

I can remember nights in Rome

I thought that love would last

A promise set in stone

I'd survive with only memories

if I could change the way I feel

But I want more than only memories

a human touch to make them real

Another day, another dream

over the bridge an empty scene

We'd spend the weekend lost in bed

and float upstream

I don't know why we moved away

lost in the here and now we strayed

into a New York zone

Our promise was betrayed

I was there caught on Tenth Avenue

You elsewhere with Culver City blues

Then and there I knew that I'd lost you

What is left of love?

tell me

Who would even care?

So much time has passed

I'd still meet you anywhere

Water under bridge

evening after day

What is left of love here

that didn't drift away?

Don't give me all your northern pain

Don't sell me New York in the rain

Let's leave our promises behind

rewind

and try again

What remains in time

that didn't fade away?

Sometimes I need to see

the way it used to be
