That Was Then

(album: Self Portrait - 2008)

Going through changes
From back where I once began
A distant stranger I used to know
So long ago, yeah, yeah, yeah
Enlighten me, 'lightenin me, up
Make me all over again
Come on and let me in, yeah

It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
(So much that I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
How to to move on
That was then and this is now

Waking up it seems
Am I the dreamer or the dream?
Is it possible to know? (Is it possible to know?)
Tomorrow unfolds too slow, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Shaking me, waking up
Clearing my vision again
Seems like I'm born again, oh, ooh

It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
(So much that I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(This is now)

Like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers, yeah) So long ago
(So long ago) So much that I didn't know
(So much that I did not know, yeah)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how, yeah) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(That was then, this is now)

Going through changes
Back where we once began
Going through changes (Going through these changes, yeah)
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago (So long ago)
So much that I didn't know (So much I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(How to move on, yeah)

It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know (So many things, yeah)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(That was then, this is now)
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Like a lifetime, lifetime) So long ago (So long ago)
So much that I didn't know (So much I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how, yeah) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(How to move on)
