The Way It Used to Be

[Verse 1]
Feeling 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

[Chorus 1]
Take me back so I can see
The way it used to be

[Verse 2]
I lay down and enter a dream
Unlike anywhere I've been
All is silent and sweet
Then I'm falling to the ground
And I'm lost from what I've found
Can't stand the sounds no more

[Chorus 1]
Take me back so I can see
The way it used to be
The way it used to be

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Radio waves splash through my head
To a rhythm that I crave
Radio waves relieve 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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Move me from the water
Too cold to swim
Bring me to the land
Move me from the water
That I see within

[Bridge]
The way it used to be
The way it used to be

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Move me from the water
Too cold to swim
Bring me to the land
Move me from the water
That I see within
