The Way It Was Before

Johnny Stimson

Feels like yesterday

I was living at my parents' house

I blinked and things changed

Fast forward and I was moving out

I can only exist in three dimensions at a time

Who am I to resist a river flowing left to right?

It's like we've been dancing in the dark

A great big expansion from a spark

Over in a moment

Finished in a flash

Slipping through my fingers

Life's an hourglass

Shattered on the floor oh

It'll never be the way it was before

No

Feels like yesterday

I was falling in love

Then came the heartbreak

Like it always does

Nobody escapes it

Time's a losing game

Might as well embrace it

'Till it flies away

I know that nobody can stay forever young

I wish I could just take a break

from growing up

It's like we've been dancing in the dark

A great big expansion from a spark

Over in a moment

Finished in a flash

Slipping through my fingers

Life's an hourglass

Shattered on the floor oh

It'll never be the way it was before

The way it was before

Over in a moment

Finished in a flash

Slipping through my fingers

Moving way too fast

Wish I had just a little more oh

It'll never be the way it was before
