Things Aren't How They Used To Be

Don't leave me high and dry now
Don't leave me with my head in the clouds
When you're nowhere to be found
It's hard to see where we are

I never grew tired of you
Don't know if you could say the same
Lonely nights,
I'll get used to them
Didn't lose a lover,
So much as a friend

Among the multitude of ways that I know you
None of them can help me find my way to you
It's probably time I took the truth to heart
Stop thinking that we shouldn't be apart

I've walked away
and come stumbling back to you
I've run so far
and a riptide just pulls me back
And I wish that I could be so bold to ask
And I wish we could have made the moment last
And I wish that for a while we'd be alone
And I wish that time would fold and twist and turn

The sky tells tales and songs of you
Smells of summer flowers flood my mind of you
The wind whispers to me
Birds fly your laughter through the trees

It's clearer now than ever
Feels like time runs slower for me
Would be better late than never
But things aren't how they used to be

If we could be together
Then dreams would set me free
Now I need you more than ever
But things aren't how they used to be
Things aren't how they used to be
Things aren't how they used to be
