were before

I met you on the sidewalk

I hoped you were the way you were before

Don't give into the small talk

Don't give up on the things that we adore
Oh yes you know I'm like that

I like it like the way we were before
Still got some things to work at

These days just walk around here such a chore

We both need it all anew

Just the way were before

We both need it all anew

Just the way were before

I'm pleased to see that old walk

Skipping all the cracks on the concrete
These days you're walking real tall

Or tall as someone like you ever seems
I've been around a few blocks

I chased away the cobwebs in the street

I wound up all the old clocks

So we can say we never skipped a beat

We both need it all anew

Just the way were before

We both need it all anew

Just the way were before

Cause we like that

Just like the way we were before

It's all mixed up

But that's just what we have in store

You can't fix that

You can't fix that

You can't fix that

You can't fix that
