The Swell Season - People We Used To Be

How I miss the people we used to be,
And all those things that you brought out in me.
We’re both different now and times have changed,
Even the best of friends can become estranged.
Well I am well aware that we can not go back, but

I will not stand by and watch this fire
Burn down everything we worked so hard to build.
If you keep willing those flames to go higher,
You know they will!

Things were easier once, when our hearts were light,
We’d stay up talking late, and put all the world to right.
We got fair warning, though I may have spoke too soon,
‘Cause something altogether unforeseen stepped into view.
Well I am well aware we can’t go back there, but

I will not stand by and watch this fire
Burn down everything we worked so hard to build.
If you keep willing those flames to go higher,
You know they will!

I will not stand by and watch this fire
Burn down everything we worked so hard to build.
If you keep willing those flames to go higher,
You know they will!

I will not stand by and watch this fire
Burn down everything we worked so hard to build.
If we keep willing those flames to go higher,
You know they will!
