[Intro — Clean Electric Guitar, Soft Bass, Atmospheric Keys] [Verse 1] I walked past the place we used to know Same old windows, different glow Someone painted over all the names Nothing ever really stays the same There was a time I knew every door Every face, every crack in the floor Now I’m standing where the years went by Trying not to ask myself why [Pre-Chorus] Maybe growing up Is learning how to leave Without pretending You don’t miss what used to be [Chorus] Where we used to be There’s another life moving on Where we used to be Everything I knew is gone But I still see us there Like the years forgot to leave Somewhere in the back of my mind Where we used to be [Verse 2] I found an old photograph last week Four of us laughing in the street None of us knew what waited ahead We thought forever meant what we said Now every road has changed its name Everybody moved, but I stayed the same Or maybe I changed more than I knew And only noticed when I came back through [Pre-Chorus] Maybe growing up Is knowing when to keep A little piece of somewhere You can never really reach [Chorus] Where we used to be There’s another life moving on Where we used to be Everything I knew is gone But I still see us there Like the years forgot to leave Somewhere in the back of my mind Where we used to be [Instrumental — Singing Electric Guitar Lead] [Bridge] I don’t want it back Not exactly how it was I just miss the version of me Who thought it always would Maybe that’s the hardest part Nothing really disappears It just learns to live behind you While you carry on from here [Final Chorus — Full Band, Wider and Emotional] Where we used to be There’s another life moving on Where we used to be Everything I knew is gone But I still see us there When the evening hits the street Somewhere in the back of my mind Where we used to be Where we used to be Where we used to be [Outro — Clean Guitar, Bass, Fading Keys] Somewhere in the back of my mind Where we used to be
