Shattered walls, empty hallways
Is that all we left behind?
I recall how we used to be
I see each moment in my mind
Endless talks, celebrations
Aimless walks with our hands entwined
Most of all, there was love to spare
And magic everywhere, we breathed it in like air
But no one's there now
I wish I knew the way back to the way it was before
With you there in your old, familiar place
Reliving every day back when my heart learned how to soar
Every smile, each embrace
If I could find a way back to the way it was before
And we could be together there right now
I'd run without delay back to the way it was before
Run like mad to what we had
If only I knew how
With you here, I was fearless
Year by year, I grew sure and strong
Now it's clear, what I really need
Is what you gave me all along
The lessons that you taught me and all the plans we laid
The winters by the fire and the summers in the shade
The stars we used to wish on, and the wishes that we made
Things like that must live on, can't we go to where they've gone?
There's got to be a way back to the way it was before
To stand with you again on solid ground
We'll spend one perfect day back in the way it was before
Just one day, then one more
Maybe three, why keep score?
Let's just stay the way it was before
