Is It as It Was
Is it as it was
Is it as it was
I ask myself how could it be
Falling through the cracks
That slipped the mind
That troubled me
Set aside the old
We built the walls
And turned away
We burned the bridges down
And watched them fall
So tell me how could it be
How could it be the same
I tell you it's impossible
To go back there again
I need someone to shake me
And tell me it's okay
You've got to get up in the morning
To start another day
A guilty conscience takes a ride
(A guilty conscience takes a ride)
Denied for preservation
(Self preservation)
Through the cracks are gone the ghosts
(And to the ghosts we say goodbye)
Who gave the most affection
Is it as it was
Or time to move along
With swords and shields and walls
To feel strong
So tell me how could it be
How could it be the same
I tell you it's impossible
To go back there again
I need someone to shake me
And tell me it's okay
You've got to get up in the morning
To start another day
So is it as it was
Without the ghosts in waiting
As instinct rules the fate
That slipped behind the painting
The facts that turned a blind eye
To the things we left behind
Forsaken for the sake of moving on
So tell me how could it be
How could it be the same
I tell you it's impossible
To go back there again
I need someone to shake me
And tell me it's okay
You've got to get up in the morning
To start another day
You've got to get up in the morning
To start another day
Is it as it was
I ask myself how could it be
Falling through the cracks
That slipped the mind
That troubled me
Set aside the old
We built the walls
And turned away
We burned the bridges down
And watched them fall
So tell me how could it be
How could it be the same
I tell you it's impossible
To go back there again
I need someone to shake me
And tell me it's okay
You've got to get up in the morning
To start another day
A guilty conscience takes a ride
(A guilty conscience takes a ride)
Denied for preservation
(Self preservation)
Through the cracks are gone the ghosts
(And to the ghosts we say goodbye)
Who gave the most affection
Is it as it was
Or time to move along
With swords and shields and walls
To feel strong
So tell me how could it be
How could it be the same
I tell you it's impossible
To go back there again
I need someone to shake me
And tell me it's okay
You've got to get up in the morning
To start another day
So is it as it was
Without the ghosts in waiting
As instinct rules the fate
That slipped behind the painting
The facts that turned a blind eye
To the things we left behind
Forsaken for the sake of moving on
So tell me how could it be
How could it be the same
I tell you it's impossible
To go back there again
I need someone to shake me
And tell me it's okay
You've got to get up in the morning
To start another day
You've got to get up in the morning
To start another day
