There Was a Time

[Verse 1]
Never before had I felt so safe
I'd open my eyes to see you laying there, oh oh
So insecure, I felt just like a fake
How could anybody really care?

Care for me?
Care to see?
I don't like you knowing where I started

[Chorus]
There was a time
I was a lonely highway
One of the lights they passed like ghosts
You came up close and stayed
There was a time
You always had the answers
Your words spun like dancers
With my pride I pushed your words away
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Regardless of where I was and what I said (what I said)
Look where this front of mine has led me to, oh oh oh oh
Now I can see just how far you have gone
I understand you would've taken me with you

And you knew
All along
You were in the right and I was wrong

[Chorus]
There was a time
I was a lonely highway
One of the lights they passed like ghosts
You came up close and stayed
There was a time
You always had the answers
Your words spun like dancers
With my pride I pushed your words away

[Bridge]
The past has such a hold on me
You, your love
Let's set me free
So where do I belong now?
If I could go back there, do it all again

[Chorus]
There was a time
I was a lonely highway
One of the lights they passed like ghosts
You came up close and stayed
There was a time
You always had the answers
Your words spun like dancers
With my pride I pushed your words away
Oh, oh oh oh

[Outro]
Pushed your words away
You always had the answers
If I could go back there and do it all again
