The Way We Weren't Lyrics

Once you told me all about your dream

Life was Jim Beam, steam rooms and ice cream

And your name up in lights on some marquee

How surprising you didn't mention me

Well, I've had time to think things through

I would love to turn on you

Memories of

The way we weren't

In your bedroom, I strummed a dumb guitar

Said your name once and wondered where you were

Sang the chorus I don't sing anymore

Your thesaurus, my favourite dinosaur

That was when love was allowed

That was then, love, this is now

It's all about

The way we weren't

I can see you stealing up the ceiling

When my feelings get the upper hand

I can see you standing on the landing

With your hand up as the group disbands

Maybe one day, I'll try to forget

One day... but maybe not quite yet

Amnesia's the only thing I fear

Don't forget me next year at your premiere

Maybe when I'm 64

I won't need you anymore

But now I want

The way we weren't
