Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We used to be kids in the back seat
Wasting time
Talking 'bout high hopes and day dreams
Never thought long, never thought life could take us far
Beyond what we believed
As long as I've got your love next to me
I'm better than I used to be
(I'm better than I used to be)
[Verse 2]
I've been chasing this dream
I'm so glad you understand
Climbing up a mountain
It'll leave you hardly standing
Things don't go just the way you planned it
But I never thought we'd have
So much to take for granted
[Verse 3]
You never know what you got 'til it's gone
Guess I'll never know, 'cause I know you're my only one
[Verse 4]
We used to be kids in the back seat, wasting time
Talking 'bout high hopes and day dreams
Never thought long, never thought life could take us far
Beyond what we believed
As long as I've got your love next to me
I'm better than I used to be
[Verse 5]
(Better than I used to be)
Better than I used to be
(Better than I used to be)
[Verse 6]
It's been a long day alone
And I could hardly stand
My plane leaves tomorrow
But my heart is already landing
Things didn't go just the way I planned
But I never thought we'd have
So much to take for granted
[Verse 7]
You never know what you got 'til it's gone
Guess I'll never know, 'cause I know that you're my only one
(You're my only one)
[Verse 8]
We used to be kids in the back seat, wasting time
Talking 'bout high hopes and day dreams
Never thought long, never thought life could take us far
Beyond what we believed
As long as I've got your love next to me
I'm better than I used to be
[Verse 9]
Better than I used to be
Better than I used to be
Better than I used to be
[Verse 10]
We used to be kids in the back seat, wasting time
Talking 'bout high hopes and day dreams
Never thought long, never thought life could take us far
Beyond what we believed
As long as I've got your love next to me
I'm better than I used to be
