Used to Be

Take a breath, take a long look around

Before you step

'Cause the tide is coming

Swallowing the ground

And there's no way to tell if we will drown tonight

Or we'll be found tonight

Come in close, if the current gets us

Then it gets us both

And we can't wait here anymore

So if the waves come, let 'em take us

As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea

I hope that they won't forget us

But we cannot go back to the way it used to be

Take it in, take a good look at

What it might have been

As we're swept into the water from the shore

Because there's no way they can tell us that we can't have more

Because we can have more

As the waves come, let 'em take us

As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea

I hope that they won't forget us

No we cannot go back to the way it used to be

So certain, where it would take us

So sure that we were never lost

To notice whether we'll be drowned tonight or found tonight

So as the waves come, let 'em take us

As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath

It takes the shape of who will save us

When it leaves it's hard to know

But I will not let you go

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea

I hope that they won't forget us

No we cannot go back to the way it used to be

I hope that they won't forget us

No we cannot go back to the way it used to be
