What it Was

Woke up 6 am today
wandered round the house half dead
and the coffee isn't made
guess I should've stayed in bed
but today's a wedding day
and we must know what to say
to put this in perspective

All my imaginary friends
have gathered round here
and they hang on every word
that the bride and groom exchange
but they don't care what they say
they're just waiting for a crash
and the best man's giving odds
it's such a loser's game

I wish we could go back to the time
when we didn't talk so much
didn't drink so much wine
we'd hang around together after dark
just waiting for a spark
yea waiting for a spark
and in the dark something passed between us
can you tell me what it was
tell me what it was

We could go down to the shore
cast our nets out like before
and try to capture something
of what we used to be
but the feelings not the same
and I find it kind of strange
to see you all so trapped
when you used to be so free

I wish we could go back to the time
when we didn't talk so much
didn't drink so much wine
we'd hang around together after dark
just waiting for a spark
yea waiting for a spark
and in the dark something passed between us
can you tell me what it was
tell me what it was

We left school at 21
thought our childhood days were done
40 bucks and an old suitcase
clear blue eyes and a pretty face
won't take you as far as you might think
I thought I could depend on us
if that's not something I can trust
can you tell me what it was
tell me what it was
