And girl I miss the way it used to be The way it used to be And colors turn to grey I miss yesterday And the way it used to be And I can't turn back time Even if I tried I miss you tonight We were young

And I know it well And I said I know it well Well, I met you at the blood bank We were looking at the bags Wondering if any of the colors Matched any of the names we knew on the tags You said "see lookit, that's yours Stacked on top with your brother's

There goes my heart fallin' for you There goes your tantalizin' smile There goes your paralyzin' eyes There goes my act of playin' it cool And there go the words There go the games I wanted to play There you were standin' in the shadows

'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open When the world becomes a fantasy And you're more than you could ever be 'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open And we know we can't be go back again To the world that we were living in Come alive,

Just like the crow chasing the butterfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space I never thought you would slip away I guess I was just a little too late I painted your room at midnight So I'd know

I miss the warm embrace I felt First time you touched me Secure and safe in open arms I should have known you'd crush me A snake you were when me met I loved you anyway Pulling out your poisoned fangs The venom never goes away Serpent swims free in my

Now you're just somebody that I used to know But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough No you didn't have to stoop

So if you got a problem, pick up the telephone For the guns and glory cowboys from the twilight zone At the Continental Club, there's no extras for striptease We're the gang that couldn't shoot straight but we aim to please She's bugging me again, run to

Don't draw the line Honey, I ain't through with you The harder the better (let's do it 'til) We're black and blue Black and blue Slip n' slide, push it in Bitch sure got the rhythm I'm holding back, yeah, I got control Hooked into her system

Maybe won't you take it back Say you were tryna make me laugh And nothing has to change today You didn't mean to say "I love you" I love you and I don't want to It's not true Tell me I've been lied to
