Were Before

[Verse 1:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus:]
We both need it all anew
Just the way we were before.

We both need it all anew
Just the way we were before.

[Verse 2:]
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.

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus:]
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. [x4]
