Lyrics

That Was Then, Way Back When

[Verse 1]

I'm takin' a walk to the neighborhood psychic

Want to find out what's in store for the day

Got all my pictures strewn across Facebook

Want to be liked in a desperate way

I market myself, it's a foregone conclusion

I dish out winks in this busy foray

Living vicariously, living vicariously

I live through every single stranger that I meet

[Pre-Chorus]

Somebody knows me, guess again

Someone likes me, guess again

Love being famous, guess again

My fifteen minutes it came and it went

[Chorus]

That was then

I got lost on purpose so I could be found

Way back when

I got lost on purpose so I could be found

[Verse 2]

I drift on back a couple of decades and regress to a time I was king

The future seems so uncertain but the past is a place I could do anything

Give me a phone call, send me a text

I even gave you your own unique ring

Living harmoniously, living harmoniously

We live through every crappy song that we sing

[Pre-Chorus]

What a confined time, guess again

This is no more, guess again

Ain't it special, guess again

It doesn't post so, well no one listens

[Chorus]

That was then

I got lost on purpose so I could be found

Way back when

I got lost on purpose so I'll buy a round

[Bridge]

Drown

So we can drown, all our sorrows

Mosey up chumps, let's all hit the bar

I'll tell old war stories when I use to be a star

You remember then

Don't you remember then?

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Someone knows me, guess again

Someone loves me, guess again

These are my friends

I can't accept that I'm a has been

[Chorus]

That was then

I got lost on purpose so I could be found

Way back when

I got lost on purpose so I could be found

[Outro]

That was then

Man I was lost

Way back when

Damn I was found

That was then

Suffer the cost

Way back when

So I could be found
