[Verse 1]
I don’t know if you remember
We used to have a good time
We’re not getting any younger
But at least we used to try
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s like our love is on the back burner
Instead of closer, we’ve been getting further
But I miss you every night, looking in your eyes
[Chorus]
I'm thinking 'bout the way we were
No headlights through the backroads, baby
I'm thinking about the way we burned
Like a wildfire that the wind is taking
I see our happy faces
I really hate to say that I'm jealous of him and her
I’ve been thinking 'bout the way we were
Oo-oo-ooh
Oh, na na na
Oo-oo-ooh
I've been thinking about the way we were
[Verse 2]
I’ve been having flashbacks
So vivid, when I'm in 'em, I can hear your laugh
We’re dancing in the kitchen and you’re kissing me
I want it to be more than just a memory, 'cause lately
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s like our love is on the back burner
Instead of closer, we’ve been getting further
But I miss you every night, looking in your eyes
[Chorus]
I'm thinking 'bout the way we were
No headlights through the backroads, baby
I'm thinking about the way we burned
Like a wildfire that the wind is taking
I see our happy faces
I really hate to say that I'm jealous of him and her
I’ve been thinking 'bout the way we were
Oo-oo-ooh
Oh, na na na
Oo-oo-ooh
I've been thinking about the way we were
[Bridge]
The way we laughed, the way we cried
The way we cared enough to fight
We’re still him and her
I've been thinking 'bout the way we were
[Outro]
I'm thinking 'bout the way we were
No headlights through the backroads, baby
I'm jealous of him and her
I've been thinking 'bout the way we were
