Lyrics

Way We Were

[Chorus]

If I find a way to stay awake

If I find a way to stay awake, stay awake

[Verse]

We're always trying but you're no one

You can't take my heart unless you have one

You can take, but no, you're gonna lose something

Time flies and then you find you're no one

[Verse]

We're always trying but you're no one

You can't take my heart unless you have one

You can take, but no, you're gonna lose something

Time flies and then you find you're no one

[Chorus]

If I find a way to stay awake

If I find a way to stay awake, stay awake

[Interlude]

Can you find the light?

Can you find a way to get out?

Can you find the light?

Can you find a way to get out?

[Outro]

Wanna be the way we were

Wanna be the way we were

Wanna be the way we were

Wanna be the way we were

Wanna be the way we were

Wanna be the way we were

Wanna be the way we were

Wanna be the way we were
