The Way We Were Lyrics

I've been listening to songs

For the beat

Not analyzing what they could mean to me

You speak highly of me to my face

And frankly

I wouldn't care if behind my back that weren't the case

Cause this thing right here

It's as good as childhood

It feels just as gold

And just as sweet

And just as missable

It's like we're taking pictures

On your mom's old camera

But I know I won't need flash and paper to remember you

How we were

How we were

How we were

And when we get older

I pray that we'll meet

And survive the college rage

And the dog days of infamy

You say "this saved me from a rut"

But you know some days it feels like I made this whole year up

We share the same bad luck

You're stuck at home

Well it's a good

I've been needing a walk

Ooh

We don't need to talk

You're scared of getting old and hitting the rocks

Ooh

The way we were

The way we were

The way we were

The way we were

The way we were

The way we were

The way we were

The way we were

Run our pockets dry

Like every week

I'll show you songs

You'll show me relief

We're too old to be prodigies

But too young for anything self defining

So let's fuck our peace

Ooh Ooh

Ooh Ooh

The way we were

The way we were

The way we were

The way we were

The way we are

The way we are

You're all gold

It'll feel gold

When the way we are

Is the way we were
