The Way Things Used 2 B
Looking back it's not hard to see, I've been going about it all wrong
What I lack is a way to be, where I don't owe a thing to anyone
And all this time we spent, lost along the way
All it ever did was get us to today
When all the cards are played and all the beds are made
And we're going to have to sleep in them tonight
And I don't want to pay so preciously
For something that we both should have for free
And heaven's just a promise on TV
Don't tell me bout the way things used to be.
Unintended consequences
And promises held dear
All the while we've lived behind fences
It's only now come clear
Friend of mine said he found it,
along the shining path of righteousness
So I tried but there's no way around
it: just another brand of selfishness
And on the way back home I called you on the line
It was all I could think to do at the time
But then it blew my mind If I'd known what I'd find
I'd never have wasted my time.
And I don't want to wait so patiently
For something that should happen naturally
And heaven's just a promise on TV
Don't tell me bout the way things used to be.
And I don't want to pay so preciously
For something that we both should have for free
And heaven's just a promise on TV
Don't tell me bout the way things used to be.
Imagine things the way they used to be
What I lack is a way to be, where I don't owe a thing to anyone
And all this time we spent, lost along the way
All it ever did was get us to today
When all the cards are played and all the beds are made
And we're going to have to sleep in them tonight
And I don't want to pay so preciously
For something that we both should have for free
And heaven's just a promise on TV
Don't tell me bout the way things used to be.
Unintended consequences
And promises held dear
All the while we've lived behind fences
It's only now come clear
Friend of mine said he found it,
along the shining path of righteousness
So I tried but there's no way around
it: just another brand of selfishness
And on the way back home I called you on the line
It was all I could think to do at the time
But then it blew my mind If I'd known what I'd find
I'd never have wasted my time.
And I don't want to wait so patiently
For something that should happen naturally
And heaven's just a promise on TV
Don't tell me bout the way things used to be.
And I don't want to pay so preciously
For something that we both should have for free
And heaven's just a promise on TV
Don't tell me bout the way things used to be.
Imagine things the way they used to be
