Lyrics
Back Then
(Verse #1)
There's a clock inside my heart that keeps perfect time.
Seems like only certain reasons it decides to chime.
Like when I hear one of our songs on the radio.
Back goes the hands of time, when life was sweet and slow.
(Chorus)
We may not ever be friends or even lovers again.
But, I will always love you...the way that I did back then...
Back then...
(Verse #2)
I never know when this alarm will go off.
I could be riding in my car or sipping wine at a bar...
I'll feel a chill run up my spine, just like a thousand times before.
A tear forms in the corner of my...just like the day you walked out my (that) door.
(Chorus)
We may not ever be friends or even lovers again.
But, I will always love you...the way that I did back then...
Back then...
(Bridge)
You know this heart of mine won't change.
And I wouldn't let it if I could.
It's those constant reminders...
They tell me that I'm still alive...
(verse #3)
Oh, but someday when I settle in my heart and in my mind.
That loving you this way...oh, is just fine...
I'm still gonna love you...the way that I did back then...
I'm still gonna love you....the way that I did back then...
(Vamp end)
