Back Then

Nothing can keep me down I've gotten over you and I don't know how I ever went so long Wondering, worrying where things went wrong Just when I think I'm fine You're brought back to my mind It doesn't happen much But when it does It's when I look out at the ocean See a ferris wheel in motion When I see that bar in midtown We used to go to when we went out When I run into our old friends See an older couple hold hands And for a second I will miss what we had Back Then I've long moved on, my hearts repaired But memories resurface, I can't help myself I'm retracing all our steps All the way back to the day we met Just when I think I'm fine You're brought back to my mind And, it doesn't happen much But when it does It's when I look out at the ocean, See a ferris wheel in motion When I see that bar in midtown We used to go to when we went out When I run into our old friends Or see an older couple hold hands And for a second I will miss what we had Back then When it's New Years and it's midnight When silence doesn't feel right When my life flashed before my eyes That's when you came to mind I'll be damned if I repeat it The past is gone that's where I leave it But I can't help it where heart's been And what our love was back then It's when I look out at the ocean Or see a ferris wheel in motion When I'm driving through my hometown Years later still the same now I'll be damned if I repeat it The past is gone that's where I'll leave it But I can't help it where my hearts been And what our love was back then
