The Way It Used To Be (non-album track)

Feelin' sick once again I'd give anything To be back home Safe and warm inside I can't stand the crowds Or the smell that surrounds me The cloth and key Still preach chastity Take me back so I can see The way it used to be I lay down and enter a dream Unlike anywhere I've been All is silent and sweet Then I'm falling down to the ground And I'm lost from what I've found Can't stand the sounds no more Take me back so I can see The way it used to be The way it used to be Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That I see within Bring me to the land Radio waves Splash through my head To a rhythm that I crave Radio waves Relive the moment Seems like yesterday Take me back to twelve mile bay Where I'll sit at the edge with my feet in the water Take me back as the sun fades away Break down the walls so I can breathe Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That I see within Bring me to the land Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That I see within The way it used to be The way it used to be Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That I see within Bring me to the land Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That I see within
