Used To Be

(album: Kings & Thieves - 2011)

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
