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 ahold and take control and make me whole again 
And if you need my everything 
You can take it all and more 
Just help me get back where we were before 

I've grown numb to some things 
Hunger for one thing 
That takes me back to where 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 ahold and take control and make me whole my friend 
And if you need my everything 
You can take it all and more 
Just help me get back where we were before
