Used To
You used to hold me in your arms
I used to watch the lilacs grow across the way
I used to smile never did no harm
I was a child but it seems some things have changed
Lights, blind me when I'm driving down the highway
I used to ride this road when I was ok
Sixteen and not a trouble spent
High, on life and we were drinking youth in
Used to say that this is livin'
How fast the world changed our tune
You used to hold me in your arms
I used to watch the lilacs grow across the way
I used to smile never did no harm (Yeah, yeah)
I was a child but it seems some things have changed
Looking back at me and you
At everything we didn't do
We used to own the world then we went and let it fall through
Used to always call me, and I'd call you
Used to say you're falling; that I caught you
But then you found your calling, and I knew I couldn't stop you
I didn't want to, even though I wanted you
I had to let you go because I loved you
We were kids, growing up the world tugged you
A new direction without your discretion
Wish I would've hugged you, I guess I learned a lesson
Always chase your dreams, and don't ever second guess em
Don't settle for "I used to"
Yeah, don't settle for "I used to"
You used to hold me in your arms
I used to watch the lilacs grow across the way
I used to smile never did no harm
I was a child but it seems some things have changed
You used to hold me in your arms
I used to watch the lilacs grow across the way
I used to smile never did no harm
I was a child but it seems some things have changed
I used to watch the lilacs grow across the way
I used to smile never did no harm
I was a child but it seems some things have changed
Lights, blind me when I'm driving down the highway
I used to ride this road when I was ok
Sixteen and not a trouble spent
High, on life and we were drinking youth in
Used to say that this is livin'
How fast the world changed our tune
You used to hold me in your arms
I used to watch the lilacs grow across the way
I used to smile never did no harm (Yeah, yeah)
I was a child but it seems some things have changed
Looking back at me and you
At everything we didn't do
We used to own the world then we went and let it fall through
Used to always call me, and I'd call you
Used to say you're falling; that I caught you
But then you found your calling, and I knew I couldn't stop you
I didn't want to, even though I wanted you
I had to let you go because I loved you
We were kids, growing up the world tugged you
A new direction without your discretion
Wish I would've hugged you, I guess I learned a lesson
Always chase your dreams, and don't ever second guess em
Don't settle for "I used to"
Yeah, don't settle for "I used to"
You used to hold me in your arms
I used to watch the lilacs grow across the way
I used to smile never did no harm
I was a child but it seems some things have changed
You used to hold me in your arms
I used to watch the lilacs grow across the way
I used to smile never did no harm
I was a child but it seems some things have changed
