Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my world is changing
I don't know where I'm going
Apartments rearranging
The beggar winds are blowing
Seems like ancient history
You were sleeping, I was driving
While you were lying next to me
I'd scan the blue horizon
[PreChorus]
I used to dream of something unseen
It was something that I thought I wanted so bad
But now I only want
[Chorus]
What we had, what we had, what we had
What we had, what we had
What we had, what we had, what we had
[Verse 2]
What we had was unspoken
It flowed like wine like music
What we had is broken now
Though we thought we could never lose it
[PreChorus]
I used to dream of something unseen
It was something that I thought I wanted so bad
But now I only want
[Chorus]
What we had, what we had, what we had
What we had, what we had
What we had, what we had, what we had
[Bridge]
What we had
What we had
[Outro]
What we had, what we had
What we had, what we had, what we had
