The Way It Was Before

Oh-oh-oh

Feels like yesterdayI 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
′Til it flies away

I know that nobody can stay forever young (forever young)
I wish I could just take a break from growing up (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
