The Way It Used to Be Lyrics


Feelin' sick once again!

I'd give anything to be back home,

safe and warm inside.

I can't stand the crowds,

or the smell that surrounds me.

The cloth and key

still preach chastity.

Take me back so I can see

the way it used to be.

I lay down and enter a dream,

unlike anywhere I've been,

all is silent and sweet.

Then I'm falling down to the ground

and I'm lost from what I've found,

can't stand the sounds no more.

Take me back so I can see

the way it used to be.

The way it used to be!

Move me from the water

too cold to swim,

bring me to the land.

Move me from the water

that I see within,

bring me to the land.

Radio waves

splash through my head

to a rhythm that I crave.

Radio waves,

relive the moment,

seems like yesterday.

Take me back to twelve mile bay

where I'll sit at the edge

with my feet in the water.

Take me back as

the sun fades away,

break down the walls

so I can breathe.

Move me from the water

too cold to swim,

bring me to the land.

Move me from the water

that I see within,

bring me to the land.

Move me from the water

too cold to swim,

bring me to the land.

Move me from the water

that I see within!

The way it used to be!

The way it used to be!

Move me from the water

too cold to swim,

bring me to the land.

Move me from the water

that I see within,

bring me to the land.

Move me from the water

too cold to swim,

bring me to the land.

Move me from the water

that I see within!
