where we were before lyrics

When we started it was years ago
We tried so hard to find our souls
And lose the innocence that won't let go

So we crossed the line and can't turn back
Happy endings never last
'Cause there's always more to stories never told

Is this what I've been waiting for a life for someone else
To polish all my faded dreams and put them on the shelf
Is this what I've been dreaming of 'cause I'm needing so much more
I'm just trying to get back where we were before

We'd shine so hard for everyone
'Cause we thought we had forever and
A day we never thought would end this way

With a million mornings left to come
We never cared for losing one
But it's half past my forever
And I need someone to hold my hand

And you're just what I've been waiting for to come and take me in
To grab a hold and take control and make me whole again
And if you need my everything you can take it all and more
Just help me to get back where we were before

Yeah, I've grown numb to some things
Hunger for the one thing
That takes me back
To where it all began, it all began

I know we've grown apart
But every now and then
I just close my eyes
And here we are again

And you're just what I've been waiting for so come and take me in
Grab a hold and take control and make me whole my friend
And if you need my everything you can take in all and more
Just help me to get back where we were
Just help me to get back where we were
Just help me to get back where we were before

Where we were before
