Your Way Back When
Saw your picture the other day
Broken umbrella standing in the rain
You still smoke cigarettes
And laugh like someone with regrets
I didn't know it then
Misspent youth wasted on the young
Testing boys to find ourselves some fun
Yaffa Cafe at 3AM
Tumbling out onto the street again
I didn't know it then
I didn't know it then
That I would just be your way back when
Just be your way back when
Your old, buried friend
I still remember what you meant to me
Dark Montauk roads and a summer breeze
A broken heart or two
A teenage crushed pierced through and through
I didn't know it then
We used to be like sisters true
There for each other on nights so blue
But you decided I
Wouldn't fit into your finer life
I didn't know it then
I didn't know it then
That I would just be your way back when
Just be your way back when
Your old, buried friend
I didn't know it then
That I would just be your way back when
Just be your way back when
Your old, buried friend
Somewhere deep you've hidden me
Down in the cellar of your memory
And if you find me there
Do you pretend I've been unfair
I didn't know it then
That I would just be your way back when
Just be your way back when
Your old, buried friend
Saw your picture the other day
Two young women in the subway
The very best of friends
From years ago, from way back when
I didn't know it then
Broken umbrella standing in the rain
You still smoke cigarettes
And laugh like someone with regrets
I didn't know it then
Misspent youth wasted on the young
Testing boys to find ourselves some fun
Yaffa Cafe at 3AM
Tumbling out onto the street again
I didn't know it then
I didn't know it then
That I would just be your way back when
Just be your way back when
Your old, buried friend
I still remember what you meant to me
Dark Montauk roads and a summer breeze
A broken heart or two
A teenage crushed pierced through and through
I didn't know it then
We used to be like sisters true
There for each other on nights so blue
But you decided I
Wouldn't fit into your finer life
I didn't know it then
I didn't know it then
That I would just be your way back when
Just be your way back when
Your old, buried friend
I didn't know it then
That I would just be your way back when
Just be your way back when
Your old, buried friend
Somewhere deep you've hidden me
Down in the cellar of your memory
And if you find me there
Do you pretend I've been unfair
I didn't know it then
That I would just be your way back when
Just be your way back when
Your old, buried friend
Saw your picture the other day
Two young women in the subway
The very best of friends
From years ago, from way back when
I didn't know it then
