[Verse 1]
Looking back to when it all began
I was twenty five, you were twenty one
Oh I should have known better then
But my heart was blinded like an old man
I recognise every scene we had
The dust, the twilight and the city lights
Oh, I didn't see it coming
Until it was over

[Chorus]
Can we go back to what it was before
Like the bad things never came to us
Ooh and I want to make it all go away
Oh, like time never reigned over us
Can we go back and figure out it all
Ooh, 'cause I can’t find a way out
Anyone can see I’m hurt to the bone
Oh 'cause time got the best of us, yeah

[Verse 2]
Waking up, it's Sunday morning
Yeah, I don't even know how I got home
Oh, I should have known better
Than to call you in the night like we're still together
Oh, I am free but I am falling
'Cause when it comes to you I just can't ignore it
'Cause I never saw your grief
Until it was over

[Chorus]
Can we go back to what it was before
Like the bad things never came to us
Oh, I want to make it all go away
Yeah, like time never reigned over us
Can we go back and figure out it all
Yeah, 'cause I can't find a way out
Anyone can see it hurts to the bone
Oh 'cause time got the best of us, yeah

[Outro]
Our story
Time just washed away our story
Oh, it's over
To reign over us
