[Intro]oooooooh mhmmm ohhhh mhmmmmm ,Let’s get back to the way it was before(to basics) When we actually talked and we wanted more [Intro Instrumental Drop] [Verse 1] I look around and everything is spinning fast The simple things we loved are locking in the past My favorite coffee shop just pulled its shutters down I feel like a stranger in my own hometown The streets are loud but they feel so cold Different stories that are being told I feel so weird waking up today The world has changed in a major way I miss the comfort of a familiar face Instead of the rush of this high-tech race [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I am dreaming? Is this even real? Nothing is the same now. It is hard to feel. [Chorus] Let’s get back to the basics. To the raw and the real, To the way it was how we used to feel. When we showed what was inside, With no filters left to hide. Just a laugh and a simple touch, Did we overcomplicate too much? Was it better than we recall, Or just a shadow on the wall? Let’s get back to the basics.Tell me, was it real, or just a thought in our head? Do you miss the old days and the words that we said? Oh, let's find it again, let's retrace every line, Leave the modern cold world and go back in time. [Post-Chorus] Eeh to the way it was, Eeh to the way it was (back to the basics)To Eeh to the way it was,Eeh to the way it was [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 2] It’s a very weird feeling waking up each day, Knowing that the old life is slipping away, I don't know how to move on or where to start, When the new world feels so cold to my heart, People stare at their screens, passing on by, Nobody looks up to see the same blue sky,But I remember the warmth of the words we used to say And I just want to find our way back to that day [Chorus] Let’s get back to the basics. To the raw and the real, To the way it was how we used to feel. When we showed what was inside, With no filters left to hide. Just a laugh and a simple touch, Did we overcomplicate too much? Was it better than we recall, Or just a shadow on the wall? Let’s get back to the basics.Tell me, was it real, or just a thought in our head? Do you miss the old days and the words that we said? Oh, let's find it again, let's retrace every line, Leave the modern cold world and go back in time. [Post-Chorus] Eeh to the way it was, Eeh to the way it was (back to the basics)To Eeh to the way it was,Eeh to the way it was [Instrumental Drop] [Bridge] Back in my day, the sky was so blue People smiled at strangers, and the words were true People had each other, we didn't need a screen To understand exactly what the heart could mean Back in my day, we didn't care about the time We didn't count the hours or try to make them rhyme We lived to the full extent, every single breath We loved until the night and chased away the depth [Breakdown Adlibs Violins]Oooooooooh mhmmm oooooooooh mhmmmmmm oooooooooh mhmmmmm (to basics)oooooooh mhmmm [Instrumental Drop] [Chorus] Let’s get back to the basics. To the raw and the real, To the way it was how we used to feel. When we showed what was inside, With no filters left to hide. Just a laugh and a simple touch, Did we overcomplicate too much? Was it better than we recall, Or just a shadow on the wall? Let’s get back to the basics.Tell me, was it real, or just a thought in our head? Do you miss the old days and the words that we said? Oh, let's find it again, let's retrace every line, Leave the modern cold world and go back in time. [Post-Chorus] Eeh to the way it was, Eeh to the way it was (back to the basics)To Eeh to the way it was,Eeh to the way it was [Instrumental Drop]
