Badly Drawn Boy - The Way Things Used to Be lyrics

The way things used to be, well not anymore Close your eyes, open up your door Well I'm not tired, I'm coming alive But you make up on, let's go out tonight These things don't matter now We can leave it all behind That's all depending on If you're free to free your mind The crucifix still hung up by the door But Jesus doesn't come here anymore Those memories still hanging on the wall But people there don't look like us at all Don't need reminding of The way things used to be I rise you to the top Then we walk back down again Look to the future now Where you're going, where you've been The universe is smaller than you think So many years spent blind and then you blink I promise you we ?? to suffering If you could be my queen, I'll be your king Don't need reminding of The way things used to be Take this chance to rest your tired eyes Come with me, we'll move to better skies If where we go don't make a difference Just turn around and we'll come back again Don't need reminding of The way things used to be
