1983

Once we were wild

and dreamt the future without doubt,

but all these trials

left us feeling we\'d never work out.

I don\'t know why

I was quiet all that time

We got good at telling lies.

But it didn\'t have to be like this

I wish that we could go back to being innocent.

It didn\'t have to be this hard to figure out

that we would let each other down.

Once we had time

to hear our heartbeats and what they say

but all the warning signs

left us feeling we should hide them away

You don\'t have to try

to explain the ifs and whys

I was yours and you were mine

But it didn\'t have to be like this

I wish that we could go back to being innocent.

And it didn\'t have to be this hard to figure out

that we would let each other down.

And it’s funny how you can live in the same damn town

just a mile apart

but walk around with such heavy hearts

as if you were oceans apart

And it didn\'t have to be like this

I wish that we could go back to being innocent.

And it didn\'t have to be this hard to figure out

that we would let each other down

we would let each other down
